Surgery went well; "...better than expected" were the words the surgeon used. Now we wait. The big concern is how well Willem heals after the surgery. Willem's particular HLH is an anomaly so everything being done comes with a degree of uncertainty. For now we take it hour by hour and day by day.
Willem is alert and watching television. He is in a lot of pain and counting the minutes before he can press his morphine button again.
This is my first time back at the hospital since I left in September and I'm trying not to feel like he's still as sick as he was back then. Sleeping peacefully now... Such a beautiful boy.
Willem -- only days before he was stricken with HLH -- leisurely walking, straw in mouth, not a care in the world. A healthy 9 year old boy.
