I have wonderful news to share with you all. Ken was discharged from the hospital a couple hours ago! That means two things: 1. He is doing very well and 2. His anti-rejection meds have been increased and continuing to stay in the hospital would present a greater risk of infection since his immune system is supressed. Regardless of the reason, Ken is very happy to be back home as seen in the pictures below. Tonight he will get to sleep in his own bed at home without being connected to a dialysis machine in over 15 months. The simple things in life have never been sweeter. Alex also had a great day. He has been relaxing and taking walks outside. It is amazing to watch his recovery, every day he seems to be getting stronger. Watching and listening to both of them together sitting in their recliners talking and smiling right now as I write this is music to all of our ears.
Thank you again for your messages and phone calls! Your words of prayer and encouragement continue to inspire us. For now, doctor's orders are that Ken not receive any vistors for a couple weeks since his immune system is suppressed and his regime of anti-rejection drugs continues to be adjusted and ramped up. As he feels up to it, he will begin responding to your emails and phone calls.
Onward to Day 4.
Until the next time...
Greg
We are so blessed that the Lord has had this in His hands from the beginning of time! His plans are far beyond anything we can comprehend. The bible tells us in Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
ReplyDeleteJust as we want a hope and future for our children "How much more" does the Lord want that for His children.
We love you Ken and am thankful that you and Alex are doing as the Lord wanted. Even though we have never met Alex, we know by his selfless act of love that the Lord has given you a precious gift in him for more than one reason.
We hope to see you all soon.
Love David & Tammy
