Yesterday

Well, mom and dad are leaving today and Rich and Chloe were gone by 4:30 yesterday. The visit with everyone was way to short, but awesome. Mom and dad were a great help to me as I am starting to go a little stir crazy being here. I feel like I am across the country...don't know why. There really isn't anything around where I am staying and the hospital is in a TERRIBLE neighborhood, so I can't walk around there to do anything.

Well, Hunter's spirits picked up major this weekend when he got to see his "sister". He was in such a good mood all weekend while they were here. Dr. Levitt wanted him to get up and walk around on Friday and he said that he didn't want to, so I told him that he had to on Sunday if he wasn't that day and he said ok, so yesterday...I unhooked him and the 6 of us went for a walk. Ok, now I am going to be honest! I was scared with how he was going to do, but he did AWESOME! I think sometimes I push him too hard, but yesterday, I think I could have pushed him harder. He would have kept on walking, but my dad suggested that we turn around, so Hunter turned around. He did an amazing job and I told him that if it was ok with his nurses that today we would go for a walk outside, and his face lit up!!

On Saturday, Dr. Levitt came in and I asked him when Hunter's 7 days of not eating were up and he said that the 7 days started on Wednesday...so I did the math last night at if I am correct, the 7 days will be up tomorrow, but we will see. I am not getting my hopes up, but all Hunter has to do when he starts eating is tolerate half of his diet before we can come home...so...if that is the case...we might be able to get out of here by Thursday...and if that is the case...I am going to be so excited!! Please bind with me in prayer as I would love to come home and start this whole thing.

We are only 3 1\2 months from the wedding and so much to do. I got the invitations, just waiting on the rest of the addresses. We have to register in about a month and find a photographer. Still have to get all the little things. My cousin Rachel is home, so she is going to be a great help and my cousin Beth has offered to do things, so thank you!

Well, I will continue to keep you all up to date on what is going on. Thank you once again for all of your prayers. They are very felt and I know that is the only reason that he is doing so well!

Love you all,
Danielle and hunter
