Tate is doing Well!

Paul arrived home this morning just in time to coach Paulie's game at 9 am...Tate had been up walking(required to prevent blood clots) a few times last night!..thankfully he can push a button and give himself pain medication! They started him on jello this morning and yogurt for lunch...so far, so good...it is just a test now to see if the intestines heal properly and he can eat...we are thanking God as we watch each step unfold! Tate has spent the day alone down there and has so far only called once for some "encouragement". Drew and Mae plan to visit tomorrow and spend the afternoon with him...Paul relished the shower and is looking forward to a good night sleep..the baby in Tate's room(and the mother and father who alternate staying could benefit from prayer..the baby's lungs are aspirated regularly all night long and there is a lot of crying...God knew what He was doing by placing Tate in that room as he loves little kids and has great compassion..pray for opportunity to share the hope of Christ with them as Paul said it is obvious they are under great strain relationally...Thank you for your continued prayers..we are so encouraged by your love for us....In Christ, Ann
