b'After that not-quite-so-normal day, Patcheswent home with Mum and Dad (and thenew diagnosis) and things mostly went back to normal. Patches played with the other animalsin the grasslands, learned lots of new thingsat school and ate lots of yummy green leaves.That stuff all stayed just the same as before.But some things had changed too.After learning about those big funny words, diagnosis and Neurofibromatosis, Patches went to the hospital regularly for special appointments and was happy to see all the lovely doctors and nurses lots and lots. But the very best change of all was making some very special new friends, just like the doctor said they might! Thanks to having the NF1 diagnosis, Patches was now part of a very special group, full of very special NF warriors, just like Patches.'
