Just wanted everyone to know that the Lord is blessing us daily with miracles that may seem small but are monumental!
First Henry played hopscotch with Elizabeth :) Loved it... I help him up and he chased her around, sort of but laughed a lot and moves around with not much pain.
The Doc's shut off his micafungin(sp) and foscarnate, one to fight CMV the other to fight any other virus or cold. We reduced his anti-nausea meds to every 8 hrs, and his morphine is being dropped more rapidly than we expected. All this adds up to getting out of the hospital by the end of next week. :) WOHOO!!!
His feeds are running at 45ml/hr and goal is 48. So today we'll bump it up to 48. On Monday we check Cyclosporine levels and hopefully shut it off. We have nothing holding us in the hospital at this point other than the cyclosporine.
Finally, Henry's liver is shrinking a lot! It's amazing! And the smaller his liver and belly get, the easier it is to move around. He's getting more comfortable in the tummy position and standing. He's so fun and LOVES his big sis! They chase and play and roll around so much together.
Seems like small steps but the Lord is showing us proof that he hears our prayers and is answering them daily with miracles happening before our eyes.
When we trust in the Lord with all our heart and seek to know and do his will, he will bless us beyond our understanding.
