When I said it was just about this time below, don't go by the clockon the blog, it is really 10:35 PM. Good Night All.
Hi, well Wednesday is almost over and we have hit the 2 week marker for Seth. It was 2 weeks ago today that Seth had his surgery, and at about this time we were just getting him to his room since he had gone into surgery that morning at 7:30 . WOW, God has brought us a long way, has He not? Isn't it just incredible to see where we were and where we are today? We just finished a great visit with Tarry Lance a friend and Youth Leader of Seth's from Riverside. Tarry works at the Dream Center and is an amazing person. We laughed together with her for hours. How different things are in just a matter of a few days! Seth looks great and feels great, and we all know that it is, was and will always be because of God. We Thank Him and Praise Him for what He is doing in and through Seth. The testimonies of how this experience has touched the lives of so many people would bring tears to your eyes. As Pastor John King said as he stood in the doorway of Seth's hospital room just 2 years ago, "I am so excited to see what and who God is making you out to be Seth". Amen. As I think back at what Seth has gone through and at how many times the enemy has tried to take Seth out and God said "NO, He's mine". Wow, what an Awesome God We Serve.
I will end the night with telling you that Seth has gained 8.5 pounds since coming home from the hospital, that is in just 6 days. Makes you look forward to tomorrow! With Love ~ The Eubank's

Hi, OK so I haven't forgotten about all of you out there in Bloggerland. I seem to be distracted with nursing, homemaking, laundry duties and cooking (although very little of that except for tring to keep up with the new appetite Seth has just developed).
Our patient is just doing great. His nurse was here yesterday and today and says she'll see us Thursday for the last time. She says we don't need her!
He really has an appetite now and it eating everything. He had a bedtime snack of Salsa & Chips and a Golden Delicious Apple! He had Spaghetti with meat sauce for lunch yesterday and a Canadian Bacon Pizza today for lunch. I think he is definitely on the mend. He entertaining the thought of maybe trying to go to school for and hour or two toward the end of next week. We'll see. The doctors have requested a tutor for 6-8 weeks! I think he is pushing it. Speaking of tutors, we don't have one yet???? PCS is working on it. There has been some confusion, and the schools are working it all out for us.
I had mentioned that Seth had lost 20 pounds over his 9 day stay in the hospital. He's been home for 5 days and has gained 4 1/2 pounds of it back. Whoo Hoo!
Well I have to run my dryer is called my name. I'll try to do better about blogging. Until next time...Seth and Vickie

Ok so now they are really Rockin' out. This morning Naoh and Seth were playing Guitar Hero and it just wasn't enough for 'em. Noah went out and got Seth the Rock Band. Now everybodys in on the action. They set it up in the basement and Seth's Pastor, Aaron joined in on Bass, Noah is one drums and Seth on Guitar. Nick is the audience. They tried to convince him to be the lead singer and Tamborine and he declined. It is so good to be home with all our guys!


Good Morning. It has been a very busy morning so far. Seth's nurse came at 9:20 and stayed until 11:00. She said everything looks Excellent! She will be back on Monday afternoon. We were hoping to get the tutor started on Monday too, but we have had some set backs there. Michelle Morgan at PCS is working on it for us.
Seth is feeling good. He is happy to have his 2 older brothers here to entertain him. Noah is in there playing Guitar Hero with him. The two of them are too competitive, really all three of the boys are, they totally get it from their dad.
Seth is tolerating new foods pretty well. He is still on anything that is white in color ie. chicken breast, pasta, noodles, mashed potatoes etc. His foods with color only include different colored sherbets! He likes push ups.
For those of you who knew Nick had a home for sale on Marlene, it sold and the closing will be Feb. 29th. Praise God. Jeff & Nick are going over there today to start moving things to Noah's house. Nick will be moving in with him. It will be a nice set up for both of them. Noah has a 4 bedroom house in Hickory Groves Subdivision. One bedroom and bath are in the basement. That's where Nick will be and that way he'll still have privacy and so will Noah. In time they plan to finish the basement and put Noah Gigantic TV down there. Nick will enjoy that.
If you are in the area anytime, give us a call and stop in. We'd love to see you. Vic

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.
