Tomorrow!

Here is the skinny.

1. Simon will have another surgery/procedure tomorrow at 9:00 a.m.  They will be looking at the drains and seeing how everything is healing and if they can pull any of the tubes out.  We are hoping for two, but are expecting one.  Pray for two!
2. If everything looks good with the drains, we will be coming home.  COMING HOME!  Day 19 and we will be coming home.  Me and Simon.  Together in a car.  He'll breathe outside air.  Gary will be sleeping at home. All of our ducks will be under one roof.  We'll eat together.  Gary and I will tuck everyone in their own bed--including us.  Home.

*3. As an aside, Simon's tumor came into play today for the first time.  They are giving him antibiotics for longer than usual because his tumor, if given the chance, could be the perfect place for an infection to set in.  They want to make sure that ALL of the infection is taken care of.  Since there are no other cases to be found, the doctor is treating it as best as she can with the knowledge she has.  Thankfully, our Father knows exactly how Simon is knit together: He did it Himself!  Though we'll be home, he'll still have two or three tubes in him and antibiotics every eight hours given by a visiting nurse.  So, if you still feel led to pray for us, this would be a good cause.
