Day +7

Steven received O+ blood this morning from a designated donor!  Thank you!

He continues to get TPN.  They have told us it is perfectly normal for patient to stop eating at some point.

Steven had a visitor today, our good friend from my Small Church Group bearing cards/gifts.  She came to donate platelets and brought a gift from our parish friends, a Prayer Shawl.  There is a group of women that make these beautiful Shawls for those who need extra prayers!  It was blessed by our Monsignor and also by my Church Group.  It is a very meaningful, powerful gift of love.

This picture doesn't do it justice.  It is burgundy, white and several shades of blue.  Magnificent.  He loves it-thank you, thank you!

I feel like we turned a small corner.  He was a little more awake and we actually played 2 games of Yahtzee.  He isn't up playing Wii yet but I know he will be soon.  The doctors/nurses all say we are right on schedule.
