Leaving Texas Children's...

The 3 of us are quietly sitting here in Bear's hospital room. I am blogging and Alfred and Barrett are watching Handy Manny. Bear just said he was glad his heart was doing "good" because he was ready for our family to be all back together. Alfred and I couldn't agree more. It is hard to believe he had open heart surgery less than 3 days ago and we are sitting here waiting for discharge papers. The doctor that saw him yesterday said he was "remarkable" and that Texas Children's Hospital was one of 2 hospitals in the country with the team that could pull off something like this. I think the phrase she used was "We are a tight team." I totally agree. His care from beginning to this moment has been stellar. But with all the credit I give to TCH I know that Jesus Christ heard the prayers of his people for our Bear. We have lots of follow-up appointments and weeks of mending and healing but what a God we serve! Please continue to pray and remember Barrett, he is going to be very sore as his sternum heals and his body gets back to normal. Pray his pain is minimal. We will be in Houston through June 8 and then returning to see our doctors in Austin.  

We are so blessed to be loved by so many dear family members and friends.

 This has been a beautiful expression of God's grace in the life of our family. 

What an incredible story our Bear will have!
