It's Time to Rejoice... together!

Well, we just got back from Dr. Gates, Christopher's surgeon. He was on vacation and was very anxious to see Christopher today. He had heard of the news that he was eating and not having the problems as before. After examining Christopher's latest Upper GI X-RAY, Dr. Gates expressed that he was VERY pleased with the progress of Christopher's condition and has ruled out any type of surgery for now. In fact, he may recommend to Dr. McDonald, our GI doctor, that Christopher may now remove the GJ tube and possibly remove the Mic-Key button. Dr. Gates
rejoiced with us for this miracle and healing.

IS THAT COOL OR WHAT?


Thank you all for your prayers and support, thank you Dr's Gates and McDonald for your professional and caring services... and, of course, THANK YOU JESUS for your healing power.

Dad.

PS... Make a Wish is in the process of finalizing Christopher's wish to Euro Disney in Paris, France. We will keep you posted.

It happened ....

We just increased the feeding levels to 80ml per hour. This means Chris can now be free of his backpack and Joey Pump for about 8 hours a day now. This increase means that he will probably cut back on his prednisone and he will start to gain more weight and GROW some.

Dr Gates said that he will be back on the 21st to evaluate Chris to see IF the by-pass surgery is necessary. The doctor feels that it is most likely that he will need it BUT, we know THE DOCTOR and creator of our bodies. HE has all the spare parts we need and we believe that Chris will NOT need the surgery right away.

Please pray with us that Chris's healing is in process and he will healed of this CRAZY situation.

Oh yeah, one more thing. The 4 little "tabs" holding the stomach and abdominal walls together finally fell off. This is really cool because his Mic-Key button can move more freely now and it is easier to clean so the chance of infection is lower... God is so GOOD!

Mic-Key Button

Keep your prayers coming and keep in touch with your comments!
