Joseph has had a little setback. The site where he had the infection has been seeping and he's been running a temp, so he went back to the doc yesterday (Tuesday). Although it didn't show up on the esophagram, there must be a leak at the neck anamostosis, so we're waiting for it to heal. Joseph has a follow-up next Monday, but cannot eat or drink anything by mouth (medical term: NPO) until then. He was sad at first, but is taking it surprisingly well. Ironically, we had planned on Tuesday to take Joseph for his first trip to Mrs. Curl's ice cream shop. That's okay, we'll just do it another time, hopefully next week. Actually, I'm looking forward to NOT going to Riley until next week. That will be the longest respite since his surgery.
I know all of this will seem like a short time about a year from now, but it's been a stressful month. I keep reminding myself that I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength. It's such a bonus that God has given us a deep abiding love for Joseph and the desire to do what's best for him.
Blessings to you and your families this week,
Jill
