Keep doing what You're doing, God!!! We see Your miraculous healing hand at work and we praise you and we ask you to keep going, You're not done yet! We ask for the full restorative healing miracle of Dad's body! ❤️🙌🏻🙏🏻

Rest and strength for our family, mom especially as she goes down daily to be with Dad and is taking in information. 

Friends and family impacted by all of this. That all would see God's hand at work in this. And that it would be for His glory, that God's love and saving grace would be known. 

❤️❤️Friends we've made along the way: families, patients, the medical team, those supporting us with claims, etc and the needs they've voiced and the ones they haven't, too. 

Health for our family.

Day 100- November 27th: Discharged!

Image
Today has been such a blessing! Dad was discharged from Upstate and has returned to "Castleview"!!! 🥳🥳🥳  Dad did well on the drive and made it home before any snow storms! 😀 Thank you for your prayers!!  The JP drain was removed from his head yesterday as the drainage had essentially resolved and met criteria for removal. 🙌 A not so comfortable experience but  made it through! Thankful to have his dad there for support during the removal and got a few extra stitches as part of this process. Repeat CT scan was good!  Yesterday had more opportunities to get out of bed and visit with family. Pain had overall been well managed with Tylenol for 24hrs plus. Today, got clearance to shower and had incision cleaned. Learned how to care for the incision and signs to monitor for infection/complications. Plan for follow up in 2wks with neurosurgery to have stitches removed. Dad reports already feeling an overall improvement in mood and feeling "more normal"!🙌❤  Must say,
