Hectic Week

Sorry for the late post. This week has been very hectic. Monday consisted of appointments all day and Tuesday was the dilitation. Whew! Elijah is doing wonderfully. The best he's ever looked. We should see Dr. Hess tomorrow and be released. After that, we are heading out! We have agreed as a family that we want to come home, so we will leave as soon as we can. We cannot wait to get there!!!

It's looking like we might come back here for dilitations in the future. There are just so many variables and so many things that can go wrong, we honestly are scared to take Elijah somewhere else besides here with Dr. Hess and the staff. They have done such a wonderful job and we don't want anything messed up. It will be somewhat of a inconvenience, but Elijah is worth it!! We are still praying for God's direction, but if we don't get a clear, undivided direction we are coming back here. We had a long talk with Dr. Hess yesterday when we were in the ER. By the way, Eli's g-tube got pulled out, so we had to have Dr. Hess put it back in. Not a major thing. But anyway, we chatted with him for a long time while we were waiting. There is no doubt in my mind that he is a Christian. He is of the Lutheran faith and is very conservative in his beliefs. He actually teared up when we were discussing the state of the nation and how it was on the wrong path in regards to excluding God from everything. This confirms in our heart even more that we were in the right place, under the right care. You know, you want your surgeon to be a praying person and a man of God. We believe that is the case.

It's just amazing how God has blessed us through this. And how we have crossed paths with such wonderful people. Of course, we have made lifelong friends with the Bean's from Tennessee. They are such wonderful people and we have so much in common. Again, we believe God brought us here to be support for one another. He is so good!!

Thanks to all, and hopefully we will be home soon.

God Bless....
