The Waiting

 Lydia is moving a mile-a-minute and she is very anxious to get home.  However, the doctors have indicated that she still has one more week to go.  Over the past week, Lydia has made significant progress.  Her liver numbers and stomach have returned to normal, and she was taken off the non-FDA approved drug yesterday.  Lydia has also been off her medicine pole for significant time periods enabling her to venture outside the hospital room for walks in the garden and down the halls.  Many of her medicines are now being administered orally.  We now pray that Lydia regains her desire to eat and drink normally.  So the waiting continues but at least we have positive news to sustain us until the big homecoming!

                          you shall win the true life of your souls."
