Wonderful news! Glad to hear that things are starting to come around. Will continue to keep you in our thoughts and prayers!

Praise the Lord, your son looks good. I'm so glad things are starting to look up for you. I will keep your family in my thoughts and prayers.

Em I am sitting here with tears in my eyes. He's adorable. What a beautiful child you have! I am so happy he's doing better, and that things are starting to go your way.

Let us know when the story runs in the paper! I know there are others who will benefit from reading your family's story.

Tell your little man that all your "chicken friends" are sending all their good thoughts and lots of love his way!

Thanks everyone.

He is demanding a cheeseburger right now, LOL, and the nursing staff is working on getting him one.

A co-worker of my husband is organizing a fund-raiser and somehow contacted someone from the Pittsburgh Steelers, and the Steelers are putting together a basket for raffle.

How cool is THAT?

He's doing pretty well today. They started IV Lasix, and are still giving him oral Lasix, according to his labs, he's not dry enough.

So, we'll continue with the daily x-rays and lab work, and hopefully we'll find the right balance soon enough and get to go home.

Thanks for the prayers and encouragement. I hope to someday be able to repay the kindness we've been given.
Em

I'm so glad he is doing better. Maybe they could include online bidding as well for the fundraiser? I'm sure there are folks here who would like to contribute...that basket would be a big draw for anyone too!

It is so wonderful to hear the hope in your "voice" now. I'm so glad that the people in your area have stepped up to plate and helped you. Hooray! God is good.

God Bless all of you
