Checkin' In

Thought I would let you all know how its going. Daniel is doing much better and has come a long way except for a few issues. He is able to eat regular food/drinks which he is thoroughly happy about that he was not liking the pureed food at all but he did eat so they could see if he tolerated it so they could advance him. They do have him on an 1800 calorie diet/watching his sugar.

The family docotor told him yesterday he could most likely go home today but we have a slight problem. Unfortunately he didnt get insurance until next month through work. So when he goes home he has to have quite a bit of supplies(as you know medical supplies are quite expensive at this point) which we cannot afford at this point so we have a huge problem bringing him home. Also he has to be with someone 24/7 in case his trach gets blocked. He knows what to do but when you cant breathe you just cant do what needs to be done. I have to work and cant afford to go part time or quit since he isnt able to work at this point so that is where we are with bringing him home. Yesterday was 3 weeks that he has been in and what a 3weeks it has been. I never dreamed what we would face this new year when it dawned but here we are and God has always been with us, providing even in the midst of all these things. Just pray with us about what I mentioned God always provides a way (we definately know that from the past over and over) He has never let us down and never will and He will be there to help with the new circumstances that we are facing. We just place it in His hands knowing He is in control of everything.

Mom is doing well. Getting tired of not being able to do much except sit. She did get out Sunday to visit Daniel which he quite happy with his unexpected company. They plan on taking her stitches out tomorrow.

That is pretty much all the news with us.
Until next time, Martie
