Today started off great with Cutler’s platelets increasing on his own without the use of infusion. Dr Goldman was very excited as we are on day 61 and this normally doesn’t happen until day 80. To further boost our spirits, Cutler decided to drink non thickened water from the sippy cup as well as he actually drank/sucked on his own from the bottle. Very big steps to help and another sign from God that he is fully in control of the healing process. Oh and to finish things off, Cutler ate quite a few pieces of apples and half of a chicken stick.
He also continues to accept the continued increased in flow of formula. At the current pace, the Dr. thinks that Tuesday may be feasible, but I refuse to set my sights on any day for release until he is in my car and we are driving away from the hospital. As for me, the good doctor has quarantined me from the hospital for the present time. Each morning we ask the doctor and so we will take my visits to the hospital in stride waiting for permission. Until then I will enjoy the following pictures along with everyone else as my way of seeing him. I am amazed at how quickly his hair is growing back. You can see a big difference as each day goes.

What can I say? Letty has said everything so beautifully that is in my heart.
Praise the LORD! For it is good to sing praises to our God; For it is pleasant, and praise is beautiful. Psalm 147:1
Let my mouth be filled with Your praise
And with Your glory all the day.
But I will hope continually,
And will praise You yet more and more.

We will prayer continually.
