Our first visit

We got to see Hyrum today! We brought "Bendaroos" to build with but the best thing that we brought was his brother.

Porter had gotten a Star Wars action figure during the week and true to form we couldn't get just one. We had to get one for his brother too. It didn't take long and Hyrum and Porter were playing just like they do at home.

Hyrum is a lot calmer than we have seen him when he is in-patient. He was really trying to re-direct his thoughts from "When am I going home?" and "When are you coming again?" He didn't even have to be restrained when we left after a two hour visit. Next week we hope that he will be a level two so he will be able to participate in scouts, primary and swimming.

I just drank the sight of him in. No amount of phone calls or reports from the social worker beat seeing him in person. :)
