I still have not seen sweet Thaycher yet, but am posting this from a chair in the hospital. Thanks to modern technology I got this video from BJ earlier today:
The whites of his eyes are much improved and they will be moving him to a step-down ICU room this afternoon. I'm sore, but have made the big move from bed to chair today. I had a fever after surgery so they kep me in ICU 1 extra day on antibiotics. I feel much better. I would do it all again in a heartbeat!
Yay oh this made me cry!!! Oh how wonderful it is to see his eyes open and knowing how well you are both doing. Amelia is playing with Drew and the girls today. Mom said that she was smiling and having a good time. Everyone here is taking good care of her. We are all still praying for you guys.
ReplyDeleteJessie I'm so sorry you had the fever, but glad you are feeling better and made the big move from bed to chair! Ditto what Johnny told you last Thursday about what an amazing person you are to do this. I know you are Thatcher's Mom and you feel that all Moms would do it, and they might, but that doesn't take away from how special you are to give him life twice.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how much different his color looks already. Thank you so much for posting this. Johnny will be thrilled!
Oh yay! He does look so much better! I am so glad to hear that all is ok there. Brad and I couldn't stand it yesterday. I made him call your phone, hoping that BJ would answer. So glad your feeling better and I know you are SO READY to go and see your little fella! He is precious! Still praying like crazy for you guys!
ReplyDeleteOh and after you guys get all well and are at home, Connor wants to come visit Thatcher. He wants to see him and has been praying for him! He asked me about him this morning. So sweet!
ReplyDeleteAnd to think, he'll never remember any of this and you won't forget a minute! He looks so much better already! Love you all so much!
ReplyDeleteSo glad things are going well for all of you! We continue to pray for a great and quick recovery. Many, many people at church are praying too!
ReplyDeleteHi Jessie! This is Amanda, Brad Thompson's sister. I wanted to let you guys know that I have been in prayer for you since I found out about Thatcher being sick. I cannot even begin to imagine how it must feel. I am amazed by your strong faith in Christ and hope to be half the mother you are!!! I will continue to pray for both you and Thatcher. I hope everything continues to go well. You have a gorgeous family.
ReplyDeleteJessie, I have just found your blog through Facebook. Your story, though extremely difficult, is amazing and inspiring. I am truly in aw of how the Lord has brought you all through this. Thank you for sharing your story. Though I am a day or so late to pray for your surgeries, I will most definitely be praying for your recovery!
ReplyDeleteWow!!!! Jessie, this little video has just lightened up my day! I have to tell you... Seeing his white skin and his white eyes just makes me feel SO good for you guys! It's been a long hard road, and your journey isn't over yet---but at least you are headed in the right direction!! Such an inspiration to us all----the way you have remained positive througout this whole thing has just been amazing. You are one FANTASTIC mother and your little family is just precious.
