We are almost outta' here!!

Today was full of positive steps to getting David HOME tomorrow!!

It's Sister again writing and giving another update, I actually had written a post and lost it all!! Man, I have not been having the best of luck with this blog!! hahaaha

Anyway, as Mom mentioned, YES, David slept just about all night except for when I gave him is meds. I could not believe it!!

Dr. Fitch and his team came in about 6am and I was able to talk with them as I have been able every morning. They all seemed to think that since David was progressing so well, he should be able to go HOME TOMORROW(wednesday)!!!! I could barely stand it, I wanted to call Mom and Dad right then and there to let them know---but it was so early I waited til Mom got here.

Of course, the first question of the day from David was if he was going to go home today. His little lip puckered up and he almost cried when I told him that it would probably be tomorrow. I have been trying to encourage him everyday that if we go home too early we might have to come back and that would be absolutely awful!! He agreed and then went back to sleep :)

David got transferred to a regular pediatric floor room that has lots of space and a huge window. After David was transferred, I called Mom about 4 and was absolutely shocked when she said, "Guess what we are doing, we have been walking with David around the hospital for about an hour in his wheelchair!" I about started crying and flipping out, I was in utter amazement, just yesterday he could only sit for about 15 minutes!!

More answers to prayers are:
His blood levels have improved dramatically
His kidney blood levels have improved dramatically; urinating great
His pain is well controlled
His eating is slowly improving
He is supposed to go home tomorrow!!!

Requests:
That we can have an easy, smooth and QUICK discharge home tomorrow
That the car ride won't be difficult or painful
The medication regimen would be easily adapted for David's pain needs as he gets home and starts to heal.
Continue to sleep at night.

The LORD has been so faithful and quick to answer all of our specific requests, why do we ever take our eyes off THE Savior and gaze at the circumstances when the LORD is in control of it all!!

May HIS name be glorified above all things and may the LORD receive Honor and praise for all the miraculous deeds that HE has done in David during this time!!

From the depths of our hearts, we thank you for all of your prayer and support!!

Love,
The Bradley Family

  1. Whoa, buddy!! (Now I'm talking like a Bradley!) I can't wait to see you, David - all straight and tall! I'm still praying for you and hoping you'll be ready to go home tomorrow. In any case, trust in the Lord - He knows what He's doing! :)
