Recovery: Day 7 (Evening)

Today ended up being a wonderful day. All the tests came back negative or positive, the right way depending on the test. Justin got a bit more sleep, at least enough to be pleasant. We were able to do some laundry (thanks, Kerri, for the suggestion to bring laundry soap!), and take showers! And they released the restrictions at TCH, so....we had some visitors! Nana and Ami came, but the best one of all was TRAVIS! We all missed each other so badly and it was wonderful to be together, if only for a couple of hours (the restrictions are still on for the night). Daddy and Travis checking out all the construction cranes.

Travis brought some Thomas the Train stickers for Justin (and he
helped to put them on too!)

And photographer Travis did some picture-taking...we think he has
a foot fetish!





Super Travis!


All the family, back together!


The doctors said that if the tests of the drainage fluid look okay, they will be able to take it out tomorrow. Then we have to wait a day and do another chest x-ray, and we should be free! That would mean Wednesday we think. Nothing is certain yet, but today was very promising. Justin is needing to be home, and we agree. Travis has been telling everyone that we need to be "all together", and then he names everyone he knows. It may not be quite that many, but at least the DeCarlos will be home SOON!

Hello Danielle,
I hope you remember me. I was a Bammel member while I was in Houston, 2000 till Aug. 2006, when we moved to Dubai, UAE. It may help you if I tell you that we are from Argentina, and I am married with 2 daughters (now 22 and 18 y.o.).
I am in the email prayer chain from Bammel, so I am aware of what's been going on with you, and silently praying from here. May the Lord continue to bless your family and give you the faith and the strength that you need for every moment.
With much love, in Jesus,

Claudia

PS: Isn't the Internet great?

The boys look so good! You look so happy to have the family back together again. It feels good to be able to "reconnect" if only through the internet. I hope to see you/talk to you soon. We are still without power/internet. I have internet at work, but no e-mail. I'll continue to check your blog for any prayer needs.
