Weekend Review - Update From Debbie Posted 17 Hours Ago

On Saturday night at 10PM, his weight was down another 4 lbs from the day before. He was now 199.2 lbs. 

At 12:15AM on Saturday, he had a fever. By 11AM, he was a perfect 98.6! At 7PM, his fever was back, but low grade.

We walked 8 laps at 10PM and 8 laps at 11PM. He was taken off of his low-fat diet and is now able to order off of the regular menu, with much more selection. That's all for Saturday. It was a fairly uneventful day!

The Child life team surprised Scott by blowing up pictures that I e-mailed to them. The ladies brought them in today for Father's Day and hung them up for us. It really meant a lot to him, and we both love seeing our kid's pictures on the wall.

Kristine is a new friend of mine from this floor. Her fiancé had surgery the day before Scott. We walked to Central Park today for some fresh air. Some guys with snakes asked us if we wanted to pet them. Before we knew it, they put the snakes on our shoulders and took pictures for us with my phone. They tried to get us to pay $10, but we didn't ask them if we could hold them, and they never told us they would charge us, so we walked away.

We were able to Face Time with the kids for Father's Day. They are in Minnesota this weekend with Paul and Tracy.(Scott's sister) They are having a lot of fun at their house! Thanks Paul and Tracy!

We walked 28 laps total on Sunday. That's 2 miles! He is now 196 lbs. He lost another 3 lbs. Now that the water weight is gone, he doesn't want to lose anymore weight. Hopefully he can maintain around 195 - 200 lbs. 

The BIG news for Sunday is that he made it the whole day fever free!!! Praise the Lord!

We watched our 5th church service online this morning. We can't wait to actually sit in a pew inside a church again! You take simple freedoms like this for granted, until they are taken away from you. 

We asked everyone to pray for an uneventful weekend, and God answered our prayers! We are so thankful! It looks like things are moving in the right direction! 

We know that his wound VAC will be checked on Tuesday. Hopefully it can be removed that day. We will have to wait and see. 

Please pray for him to remain fever free, and for everything to continue to heal so that we can return home to our kids! Slowly but surely, it will happen. 

God's timing is always perfect! We just need to trust his plan.
