I'm back!

Thanks everyone for the support it has helped so much. I am leaving tomorrow and will be going home! Eating is still a struggle but I continue to get better and better at walking and stuff like that. The evenings are getting really tough, but the staff here is great and they are helping me get through all the struggles! Thank you so much for your prayers and encouragement!!

Hello everyone! Somer is getting stronger everyday. She had a rough night last night but is feeling better this morning. Somer had to have a test to check for any leakage where they attached her upper intestines to her esophagus. They shot some dye down the tube in her noise and watched it on an X-ray. It was pretty cool (for me anyway). The best part was that Somer PASSED the test!!!!!! Hallejuiah! We both cried for joy. Somer got the tube removed from her noise! A Major accomplishment!

Her reward was ICE CHIPS (although just a couple),and you all know Somer and her water!!!! She was so happy and so was I and now you'll can share her great moument.

She is feeling better today, and so far this is her best day!

We all love you and thank you for all your well wishes and prayers.
