Tate is coming Home tonight!!

Well, it is exciting to see God unveiling His plan! This morning, after he had been visited by the doctors,Tate tried calling each of us with the good news that he was coming home today!(we had our phones off while in Church!). When he finally got through to us, we all thought he had pushed his medication button one to many times! It was nearly 2:00 before we could confirm with his nurse that he indeed was being sent home after they finished his TPN at 5:oo pm...so Paul went down to bring him home! Of course, Tate is quite thrilled with the prospect of a quiet night back in his own bed! I am in Awe at our God and His provision! However, if the truth be fully told(which I am about to do), I am also apprehensive as they have not yet even given him really solid food AND they have decided that we will NOT give him any more TPN...we will just see how it goes and just "watch" for abdominal pain or fever... we have always been told that he would be weaned slowly off of TPN, so this is a pretty big change! After a year of hooking him up every night, all of a sudden the responsibility of nourishing him again is back on me..tonight! That is where the apprehension comes in..HOWEVER, our God is much bigger than my fear! So I smile as I say that and choose to walk confidently in His Power and not my own! Thank you for your continued prayer on our behalf...with much love, Ann and all

Hi Ann,

I'm so glad Tate is home! I honestly was in shock when I heard he was coming home! I hope you had a good night! We are praying for you guys and especially that Tate would only experience getting well from here on out! We want a miracle for him! May God give you all you need to continue on this journey and help Tate recover from his surgery and do life :) Whatever that means! hehe!
love you!
