We have such a great pastor who wears many hats. He is Brother Bill, Uncle Bill and our dear friend Bill. Thanks for all the things you have given to Reed- as you can see he enjoys them very much!!
Wednesday night was the beginning of Awana so we decided to take Reed and see how he would do. He was pretty restless inside the class, but he really enjoyed the outside festivities! Looks like daddy enjoyed it too!!

Reed's favorite outfit...
Nothing! He does not like clothes lately- I hope it's a phase that doesn't last long.
We did manage to dress him long enough to go to church this morning...
Such a clown- he keeps us laughing.
Whew, everyone's tired so it's nap time :)

Home Sweet Home !
The grass is high, the dogs are hungry, and the cat is mad. We're finally home and glad to be here!
I'm not 100% satisfied with the answers we received but we were told that the infection was caused by bacteria that is normally found in your mouth. The diagnosis was cellulitis which does not make sense to me at all but we're home with another week of antibiotics.
7/5, waiting for surgery:
7/6, after surgery
7/8, resting
did someone say I can get out of here??

Still here
Reed seems to feel better and is ready for new scenery. We're waiting on lab results from the surgery to make sure the antibiotics are right. I'm ready to go home but I'd rather stay here until we can be sure that things are under control and there is no more infection.
Thanks for all the emails and phone calls, keeping in touch with everyone has helped us get through this!

Update
Reed is resting and we are hoping to be released in 24-36 hours. I made a trip to the hospital across the street last night and found out that I have a staph infection. I've been taking antibiotics for a few days for an infected spot on my left leg. It has gotten worse so I went over the the ER at 3 am while Reed and Tim were sleeping.
No matter how bad you feel or think your situation is; there is always someone with greater suffering. I haven't seen many children in the hospital because we've not been able to leave our room but I know there are many children and parents here with more serious health issues.
God has been so good to us and He is my strength. Have a blessed Monday!

Long day
Today has been a very long day. Reed was finally taken to surgery at 4:00 pm and was out of recovery and back in the room by 6:00. Dr R believes his body was rejecting the stitches and therefore created the infection. He said that this is very rare, 1 out of 400 cases. They had to open his lip and remove the stitches. He has gauze in the opening and this should come out in a day or so. No one knows how this will look when it heals but I'm only concerned about him getting well and not how he will look when this is over.
He is doing good now, eating jello and drinking juice.
God is good!
