So, this mornings question is why not? Having to submit this paperwork for Canada disability, I’ve gotten to read some of the Dr’s comments as well as read some of the general information about all that’s been done on Kev. The general consensus that his esophagus diversion is permanent. Just like his infertility is most likely going to happen. *shrugs* and we’re saying-Well, Kev wants to eat again at some point in his life, and we want to have children, so why not?
So, please, add those two things specifically to your prayer list. Again, we’ve said before that we do NOT embrace statistics or beleive in them. We refuse to be a statistic, we are the Boitsons! So please lift these two concerns up specifically.
Today is the big “what if” day to see if Kevin can drink more than clear liquids officially (chocolate milk, ice cream and such). He’s REALLY REALLY hoping so. The only reason that wouldn’t happen, is their fear of things getting stuck in the tubing and the esophagus. We are truly praying that God’s plans leads us towards these “freedoms”, although let me not underestimate how ecstatic we are that God has brought Kevin through this thus far. However, as Kev said last night, he’s grateful to be alive, but to be told he has to LIVE with this esophagus diversion is devastated. So he ain’t beleivin it! (think people who told they’ll never walk again, and then miraculously do!).
Kev’s potassium is a little high this morning, but they’re going to do an EKG and get some blood samples just in case to make sure things are ok. It’s most likely from the fact that he’s getting “double” feedings right now. He’ll be at full capacity feeding today, which is awesome!
Also today Kev is getting his “throne”-aka, recliner chair. He’s psyched because with his massive weight loss (about 55 lbs in just 2 months) the chair in here offers no support or comfort. So we’re movin up.
Thinking of you…love you all.
Yeah…full feeding.
Praise be to God!
So – it looks like there is a possibility of getting Canadian disability – or didn’t I read that right. That would be great. Hope today was a good day, even with all the disappointments you are dealing with. You are never far from our thoughts and prayers.
