Hoping

Michele sent an update last night:


I THOUGHT I'D SEND A LITTLE UPDATE..EVEN THOUGH I GUESS THERE'S NOT REALLY TOO MUCH CHANGE...HOWEVER, DAVID DOES SEEM TO KEEP IMPROVING...GETTING 
STRONGER, MOVING BETTER, THEY ARE WEANING HIM OFF OF THE TPN (IV) FEEDINGS, INCREASING HIS G-TUBE (ENSURE) FEEDINGS IN HOPES THAT HE WILL GET NATURALLY HUNGRY AND HAVE AN APPETITE TO EAT REAL FOOD.   HE EATS A LITTLE BIT EACH MEAL...IT MAY JUST BE A FEW BITES, BUT I GUESS AFTER NOT EATING FOR 10 WKS...IT WILL TAKE A WHILE FOR THAT TO GET TO NORMAL AND FOR FOOD TO START TO TASTE GOOD AGAIN.  HE HAS HAD A FEW BITES OF A SANDWICH, SOME FRUIT...THINGS LIKE THAT. THE DOCS TOLD HIM TODAY THAT HE SHOULD BE ABLE TO GO HOME THIS COMING WEEK.  HIS DAYS ARE GETTING LONGER IN THE HOSPITAL SINCE HE'S FEELING BETTER, SO BOREDOM IS STARTING TO SET IN. LOOKING FORWARD TO HIM COMING HOME THIS WEEK HOPEFULLY! THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!! YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME. (PLEASE FORWARD THIS TO ANYONE YOU KNOW WHO HAS BEEN SO GENEROUS IN PROVIDING OUR FAMILY MEALS EACH WEEK...THAT HAS BEEN A PRICELESS BLESSING TO US..THANKS JILL FOR INITIATING THAT!! YOU'RE AWESOME)


Also, would you please pray for Michele?  She has a visit this week with her kidney specialist, and there's concern she might have to start dialysis.  Please pray she would not have to go through this again, but rather God would bring healing and strength to her body.  Pray, too, for peace and a thankful heart whatever the circumstances.


Words cannot express how thankful we are for your fervent prayers.  May God bless you over and over for your service and sacrifice to the Hewitts.
