We did it!!
4 September 2019As we are now in our last week of being in St Louis, we cannot believe that it has come so quickly.
St Louis Childrens hospital is a wonderful place, there is not one thing we could fault them on, it really has been a world class experience and they are so very fortunate here to have the hospital on their doorstep. An aspect to this could be that we are international customers, but I like to think all the kiddies that go there will have the same kind of treatment.
We have been very fortunate how smoothly it has all gone, while there was a rough couple of days around surgery Reid has bounced back far quicker than we were expecting and has just gone with the flow without much hesitation at all. This kid seems to have a bigger understanding of just accepting life and moving forward than we realise.
Not only have we been able to travel here to give Reid this opportunity. We have had a family member travel all the way over here leaving her own kids at home to support us for a week while Reid was in hospital and have had the opportunity to spend a significant amount of time together as a family to have some wonderful times to treasure.
We probably haven’t been the best at posting updates and photos as we often forget to take photos because we find ourselves being present in the moment rather than looking through a screen, then later wish we took photos!
It will be strange going home and not running around organising fundraising events for the next little while – we will have a few more things popping up along the way to help with the therapy costs but for now we get to work on progress.
Progress that you all made happen….
We felt your presence and your love. Thank you for being part of this with us ❤️❤️🚶♂️
See ya soon New Zealand!!
