Ahhh, the excitement
Sunday night I could barely sleep, I was so excited! On Monday I had a doctor’s appointment and was planning on having the doctor pull out my PIC line (basically a semi-permanent IV that goes from my heart, through a vein, and out at my upper arm; I have tubes coming out of my arm).
On one hand, it was not too big of a deal, because the PIC was not much of a bother and I was so used to having it. On the other hand, it was a big milestone! In a way, my PIC was the last, very tangible, remnant of the hospital. In addition to that, pulling it out also officially ended my pain medicine (YES!!!), benadryl, and zofran. Some exciting stuff.
It was not much fun getting only 3 hours of sleep but Monday was a GREAT day anyway!

What a Thanksgiving gift for all of us who have prayed so fervently for you. To God be all the praise and to all the doctors, nurses, family and friends a spirit of heartfelt gratitude. And to you and Natalie, thanks for the journey and your testimony of becoming an over-comer. You have taught us how to hope in the unseen. We will keep praying.

It is wonderful hearing of your continued progress. To God be the Glory! I know it must seem like such slow progress to you at times, but as we all learn, God always has a reason for the process he takes us thru. Thank you both Aaron & Natalie for the testimony of your lives. And yes, we will continue praying for absolute, complete restoration.

That is phenomenal news! Well, shouldn’t be phenomenal, I suppose; since so many were praying! But, at the same time, thanks be to the sovereign God who does all things well

No more plastic and fewer drugs is a HUGE deal! Praise God!

Whoo hoo, woo hoo hoo! And I mean that! :)!!!!! And just so you konw, telling people about seeing you at Thanksgiving gave not only me another chance to reflect on all of God’s goodness, but several friends thanked me for sharing and giving them the glimpse as well. You’re lighting up the world, even if you can’t run (yet!).
:)!

What’s up Aaron? Still down in SD checking out your updates. I might be in Ojai a few days before christmas, and if I do, I’ll stay for around a week. Maybe we’ll try to ‘jog’ together. Ha ha. We’ll leave that to the spandex crowd.
It’s good to know that the scientific world has their stuff together while the politicians blindly attack lifesaving technology.
