Our Prayers Are Working...One Tough Bunch!

Dear Team Boyd,

Another crisis averted! Cap and I are home, and he is the picture of health.  Along with my loyal sidekick Kerry, we have some new tools in our arsenal to combat his Hirschsprung's Disease.  Each HD kid is different, and it takes trial and error to get the right balance of nutrition, medicine, and interventions (or as Izzy refers to it "suckin' out the poop!".  Our family at MCG was amazing, and they once again have worked miracles.

Thank you to everyone who helped keep things running smoothly in Athens with meals, school, extra curricular activities, and plenty of love and support. Not to mention all the prayers!  Thank you to all my hospital warriors who helped me get through each day and night at Chez MCG. Just having another person there made it bearable. Thank you also to our Barrow Elementary family who made it possible for me to see Izzy get her award for student of the month for kindness. It was a wonderful moment; thank you for that gift.

David is completing Day 12 tonight. Just 88 more days to go! He has his good days and his bad days. Today was a good day. He continues to walk or bike daily, and he is eating as well as he can when he can. Thank you to everyone who is taking care of him in my absence. It is comforting to know you are with him.

The children and I are planning to visit David this weekend. It will be the first time we have all been together since he left Athens on August 18. I will be in touch afterwards. Until then, continue the positive energy and prayers. It is working!

Cheers,
Lisa
