We’re now just over 10 days past surgery, and 5 full days of being home. Judah is doing well, recovering from surgery, and trying to bounce back faster than he should be. It’s tough to keep a 6 year old down, and Judah, while he does enjoy a couple of days of just staying at home watching movies and playing with his toys, is also a kid who needs to be challenged and occupied.
Overall he is recovering very well, got his (almost 20) stitches taken out Monday, and his chest is healing as it should. He is still a bit confused and scared when it comes to his chest scar. He doesn’t like to see it or have anyone look at it, which is understandable. But as it continues to heal, and we all continue to talk about it, what happened, and show him how brave and strong he is and has been, things will get easier. For now Judah gets another week off to just rest and relax, but soon we will have some of his teachers and therapists come by for visits to make sure he is still on track with both his school work, as well as his developmental needs.

- Movies on TV, Games on the iPad, and Cheetos on the couch. that’s the best way to heal.

Judah is an absolute whiz at home, when he gets into a topic and starts learning about something that interests him, he’s unstoppable. Lately he continues to be obsessed with the states, and can tell you every state and capital and what states are north/south/east/west of them. He also wants to go to Hawaii to see a Volcano, and Texas, because he really loves Texas right now. He’s also working on all of the countries in each continent, and wants to go to Australia to see the Koalas.
Our love and thanks to all of you, our friends and family, for continuing to stay with our family, and we are pleased to report a so far smooth continued recovery at home.
Love

Best news of the day!
Beautiful update! Will continue daily prayers for your dear family.
Glad to hear the good news. We can understand Judah’s interest in Texas, it is not a bad place. You might remember that we live in Round Rock, TX which is 20 miles from the capital of this lovely state. We also have a couple of spare bedrooms in the house and it goes without saying that all of you will be always welcomed.
What a blessing to see Judah home and healing. My prayers will continue. Thanks for this special post.
Awesome news. Judah is a remarkable brave soldier. Enjoy the holidays

Its heart warming to read your update. Your strength and positiviity is such an important lesson to us. Please continue with providing only good news regarding judah’s health and the welllness of all of you.
I love this kid!
We will never forget when Lynne (age 4 or so) and her cousins were at the pool, and a little boy came up and pointed at her scar and said, “What’s that?” Her older cousin (age 7 or so) replied, “That’s where they cracked her open and fixed her heart.” It’s a badge of courage. We love you Judah. You are awesome!
So happy to hear he’s doing so well and about his interests!
We are very happy to read about Judah’s great progress! Love you all!
Glad things are going OK. Thinking of you.
