Well, on our final day at the hospital, we saw one of the PICU doctors in the cafeteria. We laughed that he needed to come up to the peds unit today, or he would miss his chance. The doctor said she would tell him when she got back up to the unit.
A couple hours later, three men came into Aaron's room, one was the med student. He told Aaron, "I hear you've been talking trash". His two friends, residents, wanted Aaron to stand next to the med student to compare height.
I wanted them to get into position, to pose for an arm wrestling picture. But men cannot stop themselves when they are in this position, even 11yo pre-men:) The student did not expect Aaron to be so strong. He told Aaron he will never live it down that an 11yo, who was recovering from a life threatening illness, beat him!! I wonder how many times his friends showed their cell phone videos of the match!
One of the doctors was there the evening Aaron arrived at the hospital, and was involved in his care in those early hours. Gene and I thanked him for what he did to make it possible for us to be taking Aaron home with us again.
