One, Two, Three.... Home! (Day +123)

Max is home! As I write, Max is curled up in his own bed watching, you guessed it, a Top Gear DVD (if you had the opportunity to ask, he would tell you that it is called 'Revved Up' and that it's the one that Marg gave him). Earlier this week word leaked out that Max might be heading home sooner rather than later and it was confirmed on Thursday by the doctors that Max was to be discharged on Friday. We got back home at about 11:00 PM on Friday after spending a good part of the day packing up both his room and our room at Ronald MacDonald house. Between all the toys, books, dvds and clothes that he has accumulated during his close to five month stay and Bee's purchases from the North Melbourne Opportunity Shop, there was a lot to move. We enjoyed the weekend slowly getting back into the groove of living in a house, unpacking and re familiarising ourselves with the joys of Foxtel (endless Top Gear, Wiggles, Dora and Football). We still have a long way to go in Max's journey towards full recovery. He will still need to visit the hospital two to three times a week for checkups and the same isolation rules will apply to home as they did in hospital (no visitors, clean diet, etc). We will continue to update the blog to let you know of Max's progress; Bee aims to write a more detailed update on the last week in Hospital (including his television debut!) and, as to what lies ahead for him.

 But for now, we're a very, very happy team.
