Sat morn

Happy Saturday!
Adam is progressing well.
They are taking off meds, stopping IV's and moving him around.
He is also beginning to taste food.
It's funny, but these are everyday things we used to take for granted.
As far as rehab, they are progress.
He walked the 'lap' this morning.
He needed to do that to go home.
He will now have 2 full days to gain strength and stability while he walks.
They are targeting Monday or Tuesday to release him.
We both got sleep last night.
There was an 8 hour stretch with only one interruption.
What a gift!
It's amazing how much energy that gives a person.
It's now about getting the right combo of meds, getting his blood count up, increasing activity and controlling the pain.
Those are easy things compared to what he has already overcome.
Praise God!
More later,
Val

  4. hmmmm.....gotta poop before they let you leave though.....standard for EVERYONE in the hospital. Soon your conversations will be about more than body functions. It's wonderful to see the rapid changes back to the 'old' Adam.

    I can't find the words to fully express what it's been like for me, to witness God at work these past 2 weeks. There is amazing power in prayer, and there truly are angels, living on the earth, dressed to look like people.

    Love,
