Whew!

5 months of pain, fear, questioning, praying and more praying.  

Now, suddenly, they are telling us that Adam will probably come home on Thursday and I don't know where to begin.  So I'm wasting time writing a blog post!

Last week they took Adam off each of his four antibiotics one at a time for 24 hours until he was off of them all and his white count was NORMAL!!!  Praise God!

Over the weekend they started him taking all of his meds by mouth instead of through his feeding tube and he has been eating a little more each day, though not huge amounts.

Yesterday they did another CT scan and today said that they can remove 2 more drains and his feeding tube.  That procedure will be done tomorrow morning and we ask that you pray for him during that time.  That leaves only 3 drains and his biliary tube. WOW!

I almost don't know how to react to all of this and I'm pretty sure he doesn't either.  For months time has dragged on while we prayed and hoped for recovery and now it seems like BANG they will be sending him home.  

There are not enough words to say thank you to all of you who have been and will continue to lift us up in prayer.  We need them greatly!  

I will try to update everyone here from time to time on his progress but I will happily go back to blogging about recipes and crafts and other mundane stuff.  

God has taught me SO many things during this time of suffering in our family.  Thank you for going along on the ride with us and being our friends!!!
