O Lord, My God, I called to you for help and You healed me.
You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with JOY
Ps. 30:2,11

Thank you CHB for taking care of me!
Thank you Dr Baird for taking a chance and fighting for my life!
As much as I'm grateful, I will not miss you! But still, I love you!
I have to get home to my family now! My daddy is waiting!
My sisters are waiting and my brother is waiting!
Goodbye new friends! Goodbye nurses in the night. Goodbye lack of sleep, constant pokes and beep beep beeps!!
goodbye walks in the hall and cafeteria food. Good bye room service and cheddar broccoli soup!
This place and the people have made me well for the first time in my life! Im going home!!!!! Finally, Home!!!
Iv'e spent every holiday in the hospital so far. Easter and birthdays, halloween and thanksgiving....
But the most important one, the celebration of the birth of our Lord and Savior, the one who made me just as I am, rescued me from my suffering and healed me....I'm home just in time for!
Here's to you Boston! I'll be looking at you from my rearview window now.
I have a family, and lots of friends waiting for me and I'm heading HOME!!!!!
