Bloodwork - Good!

Sorry for the lapse in updates.  We've had four birthdays, a harvest party at school, several trips to the hospital...and lots of other events...in the past few days!

The Charmer really is a superman!

We spent two hours (processing through and waiting at the hospital) on Saturday to get the updated numbers on infection for The Charmer.  The incredible news is that his blood count is back to NORMAL!  We've had 14 days of massive antibiotics, and nine more to go...and he's been doing it!  He has willingly digested the warm water/mixed with antibiotic granules...four times a day.  His legs look great and he's pulled through a nasty cough that had him down for several days over the past week.  When he gets a cough, it is terrible as his lung capacity is so slight.  We will meet with the surgeon on Wednesday to revise the surgical plan.  It is probable that this weekend we will begin traction again (please pray for wisdom as to if we put pins through the legs again or go another route)...and hopefully will be having surgery within a week after traction begins.

We are moving to a new flat in just 25 days, which can really causing some difficulty with the surgical/hospitalization requirements for The Charmer.  We're ever so excited to be settled down in a new flat as the 3rd floor one we're staying it we've not really "unpacked" to live in over these past two months!

I will leave you this evening with some photos of our recent Harvest Party event at the International School...
