New Stuff~

I know what you are thinking, it seems like years in beetween posts....sorry about that!

My older brother and I have started this new Catechism class at our Church. Actually, I could have posted this quite a while ago, considering we have been going to it for three weeks. But, oh well... It is a really good class! There is quite a bit to memorize but, it's still fun. I have learned a lot about Christ. :) I am very thankful. :D

My older brother my mother, and I are going to go to a concert this up coming Wednesday! By Remedy Drive:D One of the coolest bands! And, it'll be my first concert! Robbie is really excited about it as well (of course). He said to me today, "Poor Emily, I wont be able to drive you to your first concert." :D Wich would be so cool if he could...but Mother will not let him. =/
I hope it isn't too crowded!

Also, I have been wanting a typewriter to write my storie on in my room...and I said on Facebook, "If anybody has a typewriter they don't want anymore, please let me know!" And the next day, my Grandad said that he had one! I was so excited! AND...he gave it to me for free!! So, now I have my own typewriter! My father says I'm crazy 'cause computers are soo much better:D Wich, they are, but I'm not allowen to have a computer in my room! So, I am satisfied!

God bless you!

It looks like the goal for bringing Pete home is Monday! He has continued to do well with his breathing. The doctors are wanting to wean Peter off the trach before sending him home. They are going to be giving him a series of "challenges" tomorrow to see if he is ready for that. It would really be good if Pete is able to come off of the trach so soon and to close off another opening for infection.

Peter's staph infection is also gone. We are praying that Pete will be able to leave the hospital as soon as possible to prevent further infections from occurring.

Here are the newest things to pray for:

1) That the breathing challenges Pete will undergo tomorrow would go smoothly. Specifically the swallowing challenge.

2) That Peter would be protected from any further infections so that we can bring him home to a more controlled environment.

3) That the plans for Peter's care at home would go well as would all other preparations on the home-front.

4) That the family would have the stamina and strength we need to do all of Peter's care at home.

5) For Peter's continued healing and for his brain to establish renewed connections with his body.

Thank you.

For the family,
Hope
