Henri will be returning home.... Yippy!!!


I have to admit this made me tear up and cry in happiness for Henri, Bella, Ella and Jeff...

Hi Friends and Family,

As many of you know, Henri has been staying with Jeannette Melchior for the past few weeks to give our family some much needed rest. We have been to visit Henri several times and we have spoken with Jeannette almost daily to check on the little guy. He has been having a wonderful time at "Summer Camp". He has been playing lots of soccer, wrestling with Lily Rose, and being mentored by Miss Lily on the proper techniques of hole digging. He, also, learned open soda pop and encountered his first possium.

Our current plan is to have Henri return home to our family. An amazing community response and some creative thinking has made this return possible. Funding has been secured to assist with Henri's medical care for the next year. In addition, Jeannette has agreed to be Henri's fairy Godmother, to provide breaks for us when my medical needs more attention. We are over the moon about this outcome. The community support for Henri and our family has been incredible. We feel truly blessed by all this generosity.

We will keep you posted on Henri's medical progress and our story. Attached are 2 photos taken Sunday at Jeannette's. As you can see Henri is green from his nonstop soccer matches on the lawn. If you look closely, you will see a slightly darker green area between his eyes from headpunting the ball across the lawn.

Sincerely,
Ella, Jeff, Bella, and Baby Henri
