Caring Bridge - July 19, 2019

We were relieved, and thankful that all of Asher’s bloodwork for this week was normal. So as of Friday, we are still on track to go home sometime next week. The date is to be determined, because we’re trying to squeeze in as many appointments as we can from St. Jude. We’re so thankful that he’s been mostly stable, with only a few minor bumps along the way.

Due to Asher’s inability to fully close his right eye, he has scratched his cornea somehow, and is constantly fighting chronic dry-eye. He’s not in any pain because he can’t feel much in that eye, but it’s a concern. If we can’t get good progress in healing over the weekend with antibiotics and taping, the optometrists have said they will need to sew it shut. Please pray that it will heal this weekend.

This will possibly be Asher’s last weekend with his family in Mississippi. His birthday is in a couple of weeks, so we’ll be having a little celebration with family. Pray that good memories will be made.

Pray for our transition back home. Pray that we can settle into a routine smoothly and quickly.

Finally, pray for our faith to remain strong. As of this week, it’s been 6 months since Asher was diagnosed, and I’m very aware of where we are in the projected timeline. Time is priceless to us, and I want to continue to trust God’s timing.

Thank you for all the ways you love and support us.
