Noon Day Report

I had a great visit with Pastor John and Steve Carr. They stayed for 3 hours. It did my heart good. We laughed and talked. That was the longest I have ever been away from Seth except the day of surgery. I needed the break. They prayed over Seth and that was SWEET.
I came back to Seth's room after having lunch with the guys, and the nurse met me with the news that they had done a contrast study on Seth while I was having lunch and now he was scheduled for an upper GI contrast study.
My reaction was "Why and WAIT". Some doctor I'd never seen before (cocky little guy) started with some medical crap (sorry been around Seth to much). I wanted doctors I know and I want them now, thank you very much. It's a good thing Pastor John and Steve had already gone, I may have ruined my "pleasant disposition" image. Who does that stinkin' devil think he is messin' with. I had just spent 3 hours with the "King" (John King) and I think that some of his authority rubbed off. I feel rejuvinated! I am claiming this area while I'm here in it, and Seth is mine and I am taking back what has been stolen from him in Jesus name.
Within minutes I had Dr. Shilyanski and Dr. Ellison (from his gastrointerology office) in Seth's room. The upper GI Contrast had been cancelled and the NG tube removed, and Seth just finished EATING yes I said EATING a RED POPSICLE. He thoroughly enjoyed it and ate the entire thing. I took pictures, but I forgot the cord thing I need to download from the camera to the blog. Sorry. When I get home I'll post them all.
I believe that we have just turned the corner to the rest of Seth's life. It is all new and good from here on out!!! Amen.
Now that we are dancin' the jig here, it certainly does not mean that we can drop our guard and stop praying, oh no, we have to keep it at the same pace until we come back for his post op visit in a few weeks. Are ya with me on this?
Seth still has the IV and the morphine pump. We will squeal when they pull those. Listen for it you may hear it all the way back to Illinois.
This has been a GREAT DAY. Thank you JESUS. You have blessed both of us here, and I know everyone that has been blogging.
I'll keep you posted. Pray he tolerates all of the foods he eats. Love you all, Vickie
