R made wonderful progress this week. He is completely off of TPN and is up to 50cc's an hour of his formula! What a miracle. His intestines are tolerating the feeds, his output of fluids and urine is good, and his incision wound continues to heal nicely. What an amazing week. The drs. have said that if he had not been transplanted by now, he would probably have died.
He continues to be a testimony of God's mercy and healing. Afterall, Jesus is the same before, now, and forever. And HE has always been in the business of miracles. What an amazing blessing to walk this journey and see God work in so many people.
Thank you for your prayers. I feel in my heart that the intercession of prayer is so powerful. Please continue as you feel led. Physically, R is going to eventually have to endure another operation to fix his stoma sites and g-tube site. He is also receiving much physical and occupational therapy to help with the muscles that haven't been used in so long. He is developmentally, physically, and most likely emotionally delayed. But all this can come along with God working through the hospital staff, and HIS healing touch.
I would like to ask a special prayer, (if it feels right in your spirit) we would like to eventually adopt R. Would you ask for favor on us and for God to open doors? Also, it would be so fabulous to have R home at Christmas. I know God's timing and ours can be very different. I feel selfish even saying this, but I would love for him to have a Christmas out of a hospital setting.
Thank you friends.

Thank You, thank You, thank You Jesus! for all You are doing. And we acknowledge that Your plan for R and this family is perfect and is perfectly on track in Your time, but we do also ask that You consider the desires of their hearts and if they are in line with Your will, would You grant them favor this Christmas and with this child who, no matter what happens, will always be a part of their family.
These things we ask, not only to fulfil their desires, but to testify to Your great name.
Amen.
Blessings to your family.
