Theo finally gets released from the hospital right before Christmas.

He goes home, but he has a bunch of terrifying setbacks, according to Denison, including a buildup of cerebrospinal fluid pressing on the brain that renders him silent, unseen, unmoving.

Every time there's this buildup of fluid, they have to hurry him back to the hospital for the fluid to be drained.

And of course, this puts Theo at risk of blindness, brain damage, and death.

Doctors try to prevent further fluid buildup with a drainage tube, but the tube keeps getting blocked, making another operation necessary.

And with every operation, the stakes are raised, and the chances lessen of restoring Theo's sight and brain function.

Neil says whenever they take Theo back in for surgery, he looks up at us with those huge, desolate, bewildered eyes that ask, why are you doing this to me again?

Theo has eight operations in 30 months, all before he's three years old.

And it's almost all due to the inability of this tube to work.

I think in a lot of partnerships, when one person becomes pessimistic or feels defeated about something, the other person just naturally becomes more optimistic and upbeat.

I've definitely experienced this over the years in writing partnerships.
