Miles returned to school this morning after missing the last 9 days. He asked if he could go last night, which we felt was a pretty good sign. But we figured he could just go for half a day to ease back in, and he wanted to go for the whole day.

So I brought him his lunch just before noon to see how he was doing and he had zero interest in coming home. He was certainly pretty tired this evening, but I am feeling grateful to have finally reached this stage of his recovery.
