This was taken just before Hans wound up back at TCH with Hypoglycemia. It is pretty encouraging to see him building up his strength. I must say - when we first brought him home from BMT it was much different than bringing him home from all the other Chemo's. It really took a lot out of him. He continues to build strength and stamina. His moods are much better. He is returning to a much more normal life! Today he swam for an hour and a half straight. He was really taking dips and going under. He kept telling me to "get back" so that he had farther to swim to me. Also, last night at the park, he was screaming "higher" after each push. It feels like we're getting the old Hansie back. Hans has always been pretty brave and bold. We were pretty sure we had a little extreme athlete/thrill seeker on our hands. He just tends to leap before he looks. Two summers ago he got away from me at the community pool, jumped right into the deep end, and sent a lifeguard (and her mother) in after him! Last summer he took lessons and got pretty good.
