We made it! We left Dallas a little later than I anticipated, but nevertheless, we are all in Oklahoma tonight. Mav did great on the flight. I'm sure it was due to the excellent care from Mike and Kim, and from the superior flying skills of our expert pilot, Max. Thank you all so much for coming to get Mav. When we arrived in the PICU his eyes got wide and he looked at the people around him like, "Who are you and where am I?" He is transitioning quite well. I was a little concerned about my sensitive boy and the big change, but he's handling it like a champ. He was even able to wean on his vent after arriving (TV to 30 from 42). Everyone in the PICU here has been great and it's been nice to see so many friends and familiar faces. We were met on the helipad and escorted to the PICU with an entourage of our Mediflight people. Mav has a little fan club going here. Once he was settled, I was cleaning his mouth and I'm almost positive he smiled. I tried to get him to do it again, but couldn't. I'm going to keep trying. Maybe I'll get it on camera next time so I'll have proof.
I'm sure the next few days will be busy. Maddie, Carter and Chloe haven't seen their little brother since Thanksgiving, and there are grandparents, great-grandparents, aunts and uncles that still haven't seen our little guy. We got a great Christmas present this year - Mav is doing well and we are all closer together. God is good. Thanks to you all for your thoughts and prayers - jc
