Update: We're Home

Hi folks,

Just wanted to give you all a quick update.  We're home ... got home Monday afternoon.  We are so thankful to be in our Home.Sweet.Home!!  But now ... well, you know how when you've been away and then you get home and you feel like you can totally relax ... but when you totally relax, you find out how exhausted you really are??  Well, that's where I'm at!

Today, Rees and I just hung out, keeping it low ... and really calm.  He's doing pretty good but with him being home, he wants to move around a lot more which makes him REALLY tired too.  Afternoon naps are GREAT and should be a part of every good day.

So, here's some things that need immediate prayer attention and we're hoping you will join with us to pray and try not to panic:

Rees cannot see out of his right eye.  This is the eye that is facing inward.  It may just need time to heal but he's more swollen again today, they eye has turned more inward and it has a film over it that seems to cause drainage.  I keep trying to wipe away the film but he seems to feel discomfort when I do that.

His nose is continuing to bleed, which the doctor did say could occur for several weeks, however, it seems a bit darker and is blocking his breathing and is also clotting/crusting in his nostrils which is also uncomfortable and difficult to remove without causing some discomfort.

Just this evening we noticed that the incision on Rees' nose, where a couple of the stitches were removed, is opening/spreading.  He was bleeding from the spot and it's clear that the skin is separating slightly.  

We will contact the doctor's office tomorrow to discuss these things but want to be praying about it right away.  We will update as we know more and we greatly appreciate you praying with us!!
