Update on David's Visit with the Surgeon

David saw the surgeon this past Tuesday.  Here's an update from Michele.....

The surgeon was pleasantly surprised with David's recovery so far.  He didn't expect David to be eating solid foods quite yet like he does :)  In fact, he said as long as he is able to eat a considerable amount of calories, he can forego the tube feedings...which didn't hurt David's feelings at all :)  So he is free from his rolling pole friend. :)  David is MORE than happy.  He has to return to the doctor in 2 weeks.  We have been so blessed with amazing doctors and nurses thru all of this...everyone at the doc office knew him by name just from the doctor's mention of him and seeing his name over the last 3 mths...though they had never met him before.  I told him he's my MIRACLE MAN! :)  Continued prayers are desired, since he's still adjusting to eating food etc and regaining his energy.  Some days are better than others...but it is sooooo fun to hear him say  he's hungry...or to see him eat :)  Thank you everyone!!




Thank you for your continued prayers!  Please don't stop!  We praise God for the daily mercies He showers upon the Hewitts.

Out and About

Thank you for your continued prayers for the Hewitt family.  Here's Michele's most encouraging update.  Isn't our God unspeakably good!?

David had "David's (Dad's) day out today!! (last Friday) We went to lunch to get his favorite soup...then to get a haircut for him..then to the grocery store!! He was loving it and I was beside myself!!!  We came home to rest for the afternoon, then he decided he wanted to go out to dinner (we had a gift card to Panera's so he could get some soup).  So we had our first date in over 3 mths and I'm so happy I didn't have to leave him behind at the hospital on a Friday night.  He tires out quickly and starts sweating but the activity has been good for him I think...and more than anything, to get him outside and amongst "life"...Boy do we feel so blessed!!  I just keep smiling...and so does he!!

Michele also shared that David was able to eat solid food today!  Please pray for a good report when they see the doctor next Tuesday.

Also, by now the medical bills are coming in, and as I'm sure all of you can imagine, 3 months in the hospital with such a high level of care is not inexpensive.  Would you please pray for God's provision to pay these bills and for the hospital to be merciful and willing to work with this dear family?  

Please don't stop praying!  How humbling it is to see God work in such amazing ways!
