Happy 9/9/9 Prayer Warriors, We have alot to be thankful for today. Yesterday Erin lost 6 lbs and today she lost 4.3 lbs!! She has her ankles back!! God is Glorious!! Her liver enzymes are still going down and finally her Bilirubin is starting down too. Everything is going great!! You won't believe how far she walked yesterday.....2, count 'em, TWO miles!! That's determination!! Now we are just in the process of weaning the pain meds and converting IVs to pills. They are hopeful that we can go home by the end of the week. We are so ready, it's been 33 days so far. After we get home, we will be driving into the clinic 3 days a week to check labs and get platelets or blood as needed. We are anxious to get this first 100 days overwith since that is the time of greatest risk for infection. Erin's appetite continues to improve and she has started craving things. That is a wonderful sign! Thanks again for your faithful prayers throughout this ordeal. We have been so blessed by your encouragement and love. blessings, janet

You will continue to be in our prayers for the rest of the 100 days for a germ free hedge of protection. We love you dearly. When you are ready for Bruster's, let me know!
