3 down 2 to go

Andrew is HOME!!! We are really happy to be home as a family again. Kind of funny though, we set Andrew on the carpet and he didn't know what to think of it. He just stayed there on his hands and knees but would lift one hand up all the time. When the arm supporting him got tired, he would switch arms and keep the other one in the air. On another note, an interview about Andrew should be on KSL's PCMC radiothon.

    So glad to hear he's home! I just recently found out about Andrew's ordeal through Stew's facebook. Your little family has been in my prayers since then. I hope he continues to recover and enjoy his time at home!

    Yay for home! I wish I could have seen him with the arm raising thing. Glad your home! You're over halfway!

    Yes! You are more than half way done. I am so happy for you guys. The 4th round was a long one, I think it averages 35 days. That was the round Erin got her cellulitis sore. I hope that you enjoy your wonderful time at home.

    Dear Lizzie and Stew, Such good news that Andrew was able to come home! Your beautiful little family is amazing in faith and perseverance and in the spiritual strength you continue to exhibit. I also marveled at the medical knowledge you two have that has been and will continue to help monitor this process as you work with the staff at Primary Children's. Few people would be in such a position to help make decisions. Your comment earlier about gratitude resonates so much with me. I am thankful to Heavenly Father for the comfort and illumination we can receive as we open our hearts, through gratitude, to the Lord's influence. Much love, Anita
