Well no news is good news around here! We are 24 hours away from our 2nd culture to be negative for 48 hours--the criteria to officially say this infection has been treated successfully. Since the vast majority of positive cultures grow within the first 24 hours, they are confident enough to start talking about sending us home! The medical supply company is scheduled to come and teach me how to use the pump so we can do the IV antibiotic at home. And the doctor team is going to submit the discharge orders today too, so if all is clear by tomorrow morning, we could really be home by lunchtime! Easter just might be celebrated at home after all! If all continues to go well, they expect to start round 4 of chemo on time next week--we march on! Thank you for your prayer support and encouraging words this week!
Hopefully you have a blessed Easter weekend with your families, celebrating the triumph of Jesus over sin and death. A truth that has brought me more comfort then ever since we've started this crazy journey with Drew. No matter what battles we fight with death ourselves, Jesus has won the war, and we celebrate that this weekend. An old hymn beautifully summarizes this truth:
Because he lives
I can face tomorrow
Because he lives
All fear is gone
Because I know
He holds the future
And life is worth the living
Just because he lives
Here's Drew playing cars with a boy in the playroom this morning!
