Day 7: Fantastic News, HOME!

I am happy to report that this is being written from the comfort of our own home! We were sprung this evening!
The Nurse Practioner came by in the early afternoon with Weston's liver function and bilirubin results.
Not only had they improved since his surgery, his liver functions were either NORMAL or very near normal! The NP and I literally shared a victory dance and chills! Wow! We were not expecting that!
Dr. M visited later, and gave Weston a final once over and sent us on our way! We will follow up with him in two weeks. In the mean time, Weston is taking a lot of medications: a steroid, antibiotic, vitamin and something to help with bile secretion. His liver functions and bilirubin will have to be checked at the apt in two weeks to ensure that the procedure is still working. We are so hopeful that Weston will fall into that third of children that do well with the surgery and have no further issues.




Ready to go!!! No lines, no tubes!

We may sound like a broken record, but Billy and I cannot thank you all enough for the love, support and prayers you have sent our way. We knew we had a good support system going into this, but were completely blown away at the generosity and immense number of people who reached out to us. A lot of people have commented on how strong we have been. I have to be completely honest with you and tell you that there were some really dark moments and our faith was seriously tested. But, we fed off of all the love and positive energy sent our way and were able to be as strong as we could be, and face this head on. I know Weston has to have benefited from our positive attitudes, and it is all thanks to you.
We are so blessed to have you in our lives.
We are so blessed to have our little boy at home with us, doing so well, smiling and eating like a horse again. We don't know why Weston was "picked" to have this condition, but God is good and there is a plan for him.



Our little boy at home, in his own bed. <3
