September 19, 2006 - God is Great...

Hello Everyone! Well . . . God is great! Things are going well with Erik. We had a follow-up CT scan Monday and all looks stable - no ventricle enlargement. Erik appears to be doing great without the shunt! What a miracle! He has had some low grade fevers this week. We took him in to see the doctor and they think all looks well with the central line and with Erik in general. He has been rather quiet this week so we were concerned. They want to see him again on Thursday and they will then decide if they want to take the central line out then as out-patient or schedule a time for the procedure. We just need to be sure the infection has fully cleared his system! Please continue to pray for: 1) Erik's continued healing, 2) For Erik will not have continued fevers, and 3) For Erik to remain non-dependent on the shunt. We will keep you all updated. Erik's Family
