We are going home from the hospital today!!!!!  Thank you Jesus!!!!!
Brad got the OK this morning from his surgeon!!!!

Everything is functioning, his stoma opening is stapled shut and looks great, and he has very minimal pain--only when moving around!!!!

Brad will be off of work for 2 to 4 weeks while he heals.  It just depends on how fast his body recovers, because it was still a major surgery.  And he will be limited in lifting etc. for 4 to 6 weeks to avoid developing a hernia.

WAYS TO HELP:

Due to Kate's very restrictive diet/food allergies, it is impossible to have others prepare any meals for us.

So.......If you would like to help/ease some of our financial burden while Brad is off work, it would be a HUGE HELP to receive GIFT CARDS to any of the following grocery stores:

Walmart
Giant Eagle
Aldi
Acme

This way we can purchase safe ingredients to prepare meals we can both eat!!  If you wish to mail it or drop it off at our house, just message us for our address!!

Thank you to ALL who have prayed us through this storm in our life!!!  We have felt God's presence and have seen His hand at work through every step of this journey.  We are so grateful for God's mercy and healing power, and we know He will complete the healing that has begun after this final surgery!!!  We are Praising the Lord the whole way home!!!  Blessings and Love, Kate and Brad
