"Happy Birthday Hickman"

Hi friends, :)

I don't know if you saw our picture of Jonathan on Facebook, but the removal of the Hickman went well. He is scheduled to have it put back in tomorrow, which, by the way, is his birthday. It will be his "Happy Birthday Hickman". Again, your prayers for this surgery are so appreciated.

Yesterday we were given a four hour pass to take Jonathan out of the hospital. Yay! Fresh air and sunshine! I don't know if he enjoyed it as much as we enjoyed giving it to him, but it felt so nice to have our whole family outside of the hospital, all together... creeping along in the Seattle traffic... to a park. Jonathan did fall asleep on the way there and was sleeping in the double stroller for part of our outing. So he got a fresh air and sunshine nap. :) We were given another four hour pass for today, so here I am in our Ronald McDonald House room with my napping Jonathan and my napping Patience while Xavi and Moriah are out at a playground with daddy.

The thought is that we will be released from the hospital for the weekend and be readmitted for Jonathan's next round of chemo.

Life is so busy, but I'll do what I can to keep you posted. Thank you for keepin' on praying!
