Good Morning

John is having a good morning. He slept well last night. There were some crazy dreams and bizarre conversations but there was rest too. He has been utilizing the facilities such that his doctors are much happier today. Mostly a liquid diet but he did get down a few bites of pancake and is looking forward to a donut later.


He also took a bath and lost one of his IVs, yay! He has been enjoying wagon rides, and is walking around (with help of course) more and more. His swelling seems to have peaked late last night...his sweet ears are ginormous right now and folding over. Last time his cheeks, jawline and neck didn't swell this much. It looks bad, but doesn't seem to be affecting his breathing much, if at all. It is looking good for John to be home tonight!



RoryCate came to visit yesterday. John was a bit blue, but RoryCate was sweet and handled everything well. I know they are missing each other very much.



Thank you for the continued prayers.

April - to mimic the others - it is SO great to read your blog updates. Although they are breaking my heart, I know everything will work out in the end. John is such a strong little man, and his courage and strength will get him, his sister, and his parents through this & anything else that comes your way. My daily thoughts & prayers are with you all as your love & faith continue to get you through even the toughest of times. All my love, Michelle
