Hi. Well we both had a lot better nights sleep than we'd had the past 9 days! It is so good to be home. I ran out this morning and got all Seth's med's. He took them and has have breakfast and lunch and by the looks of him he needs a nap. He looks exhausted. He has to weigh himself everyday and take his temp everyday and the same time to watch his hydration. We were both shocked this morning when we saw he has lost 20 pounds over the past 9 days. Seth didn't have anything to lose to begin with. I think I found the 20 lbs! The hospital food was awful and just sitting certainly didn't burn any off. Oh well spring is just around the corner and I'll walk it off later. My job now is to take care of Seth.
We will go back out to the hospital in a couple of weeks. Seth will have some extensive testing done at that time to look at the re constructive surgery. We will probably get the next surgery date then too.
Won't we all be glad when this is over for Seth. He is starting to say "I wish I'd never... and I wish I'd never..." God will bring him through this and God will be glorified it. Amen.
All because of eating some food that wasn't cook all the way, his life will forever be changed.

Seth & Vickie,

Howdy. As you say something so simple as eating food, which seems so 'normal' and 'regular,' can have a profound lifelong effect.

Every minute matters.

Makes everyone of us who love Seth and wish him well realize just how important it is remember life is not money, nor 'things,' but rather the people in your world who bring love into your life.

We're glad you're both home.

I'm so glad that you are home safe and sound.
Vickie - several days ago you mentioned a young lady who has chrone's disease. Would you pass on a book recommendation to her. The Great Physcian's Rx and The Maker's Diet by Dr. Jordan Rubin. The author was diagnosed with Chrones disease when he was in college. Using a Biblical approach to nutrition and healthly living he was cured. Actually they are both good books for everyone to read. Very challenging and thought provoking.
