Anthony Update

Here is a great update from Ana....



THANK YOU LORD FOR SETTING ANTHONY APART. HE IS A MIRACLE AND BLESSING!!! ANTHONY MADE IT TO 40 WEEKS!!! TODAY WAS SUPPOSED TO BE HIS ACTUAL DUE DATE. HAPPY BIRTHDAY AGAIN, ANTHONY!!!

ANTHONY IS DOING VERY WELL. HIS EYES LOOK BETTER EVERY DAY. THE SWELLING HAS GONE DOWN AND THE DOCTOR SAID EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE HEALING AS IT SHOULD. DR. CIVANTOS WILL CHECK HIM AGAIN ON FRIDAY.

NO MORE FEEDING TUBE, ANTHONY IS EATING ALL ON HIS OWN. HURRAY!!! HE HAS BEEN CHUGGING BETWEEN 70 AND 80CC'S EVERY 4 HOURS. HE WEIGHS 6LBS!!!

THE DOCTORS AND NURSES ARE PREPARING ANTHONY FOR DISCHARGE :) WE CAN'T WAIT. HE SHOULD COME HOME SOMETIME NEXT WEEK. WE ARE SO EXCITED!!! HE IS STILL ON OXYGEN, A MINIMAL AMOUNT 0.01 LITER. THEY ARE GOING TO TRY TODAY TO TAKE HIM OFF COMPLETELY. IF HE STILL NEEDS THE OXYGEN, HE WILL COME HOME WITH THAT TINY BIT BUT WE ARE PRAYING THAT HE WON'T NEED IT.
ANTHONY WILL HAVE TO PASS MANY TESTS THIS WEEK TO SEE IF HE IS READY TO COME HOME. PLEASE PRAY THAT HE DOES WELL ON ALL OF THEM.

GOD BLESS!
