good news from the doc!

I just got home from the doctor, and I have excellent news!!
He said that I am doing great, and that I can continue to wean off many of my meds. The goal is to be off all but two of them by the end of December!! :) My incision from surgery is healing fabulously, and it looks just like it is supposed to at this stage. He was very pleased that I hadn't used my feeding tube in over a month. I was very pleased to report that as well. :)

And now for the best news..............
He said that he will consider taking out my feeding tube at the next appointment!! The next appointment is November 1, which is really no time at all, when I think about how quickly the time since surgery has flown by! :) YAY!!

I'm so thankful for all of the excitement and joy and fun and love that the Lord has lavished upon me this past year. It's so nice to be out of the season of "darkness"--finally able to look ahead to the future with hope, and a fresh sense of joy and energy for each new day. Many blessings to all of you... and thank you all so much for your prayers. Honestly, I mean that from the bottom of my heart.

Brelin,
I'm so happy to read that you are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel finally! Congrats on the progress since your surgery, and so nice that you have been able to be out enjoying nature, etc., etc.
Did Breanne say you are back to helping with Marina's campaigners group? She had to miss the 1st session this as she wasn't feeling well, but looks forward to this year's gatherings again. Hope to see you soon,
