It's a Good day....

Just received this from Kristan:
{Homeward Bound}
At 4am this morning they disconnected Morgan's epidural, she has been doing great all day. Just very relaxed. She walked to Physical Therapy and back and begged the doctors to let her go home. Their criteria was that she had to be able to function without a wheelchair, walker or boot. She did it. She has been walking. She is not completely pain free. But she is fighting. I don't know when the fighter in my daughter came out, but it did. I think the Lord has heard the prayers and the pleading. She has worked hard even though it hurts We have not had a good nights sleep in over 2 weeks. She has picked up a nasty cough and a UTI. So we are ready to crack this joint. She is so excited to just sleep in her bed. She tells me she is sleeping all weekend. Then we have physical therapy first thing Monday morning and 3x's a week for a very long time.We are going to conquer this nasty nerve disorder. Thanks for all the prayers - we look forward to returning to our life. We will be making some changes and re-evaluating things and we are so excited to just be with our family. I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend. I will be getting some sleep.

What great news for our family.. the Dr.'s said yesterday that maybe Saturday morning if she could handle it without her epidural. When I talked to Kristan about 11:00 this morning, she said that Morgan was doing great and that she might be able to go home today.. So what a determined young woman she was and did the things that the Dr. required of her to go home. I know that the entire family will be so happy to have them both home. Having a mom gone from the home for over 2 weeks is really tough.. and the kids missed Morgan and she missed them so much.. I am so thankful for all of your prayers in her behalf and ask that you will continue to remember her often. She has a long road ahead of her, but she is determined to lick this RSD once and for all.

For Morgan

not the worst that has been

done to us..
