+81 one week and counting till home!!

Hello to all,
Just had to share our good news with you. We were told we could leave early and now we have a departure time of next Monday... one week and counting till we make our journey home. Yeah!! Praise the Lord He has brought us so far and I am doing really well! I am turning really furry from my CSA, (I am looking like a cute little monkey). My labs looked good today, a little lower than last week but still in a good range. My Magnesium went up from 1.3 to 1.4 so that is better than going down. My enzyme tests finally came back as well and my levels went from 0 to a normal range. Praise the Lord!! Why did we ever worry in the first place, I guess the Lord needed us to fully trust Him for the outcome and stay on our knees in prayer. We continue to pray for our friends here at the Ronald McDonald house and trust the Lord has each of them in His hands as well. Our Miss Torie looks great and seems to be doing better, hopefully she won't be here much longer either but please continue to pray for this sweet little girl and her continued journey.
I do have some details to cover this week.... therapies, more blood work, oral meds and an x-ray. But we know this will all come together and we will be on our way home soon. We are all looking forward to finally being home. Please pray for an uneventful journey home ( unlike our trip here), especially for health for Josiah as he goes into unexplored regions. We are so thankful for your encouragement and prayers .... we are thankful for everything!!

God bless,
Josiah and family
