Stephen's Heart

Stephen is doing AWESOME!!!  Each day we have noticed him becoming more and more like himself and this morning was the best yet.  He has been smiling at us and even starting to babble a little more.  They just removed the pace maker wires and will be taking out the last central line in a few minutes.  Today they will be adjusting some of his medications and making sure he eats but it shouldn't be long before we will get to go home!
He has basically decided he wants nothing to do with a bottle so I will be spending the night in his room from now on.  I am expecting no sleep since we are in a shared room but at least the little guy won't be hungry =0)
All of that drool he has had for the past few weeks finally paid off...his first tooth started to poke through.  All of our kids were early teethers so he is just keeping up with his siblings =0)
Please continue to pray that no infection sets in.  After his last surgery he spiked a fever after they pulled a central line, so lets just pray that doesn't happen this time so we don't end up here on antibiotics again.

We are continually amazed at his recovery and God's protection over him.  Our hearts are full of gratitude and our lips full of praise.

"Give praise to the LORD, proclaim his name; make known among the nations what he has done.  

Sing to him, sing praise to him; tell of all his wonderful acts.  

Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice.  

Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always"

1 Chronicles 16:8-11
