Last entry, for now...

Steven's doctors have released him until six months from now for follow-ups! Such good news. Knowing God is at work continuing the healing and recovery, Steven is grateful to resume some activities. Although his energy level and stamina are slowly increasing, he has spurts of energy which he spends and then recharges over the next couple of days. We're still blessed to have many of you praying for him. We pray as well that his surgery will be a lifelong fix, his liver will be healthy and liver function will continue to be normal. What's new is the way Steven (and the rest of us) are eating no refined sugars and no fried or greasy foods for long-term liver health. Admittedly a great way to eat, regardless.
School will be a challenge. The lack of stamina is a concern as he returns to school 2nd semester, beginning Jan. 30. Pray for this as well. The school district is great, accomodating his needs and rearranging his schedule to only have 3 classes a day, as well as sending a teacher to our home for the other 3 classes. Also a home teacher is currently helping him retaining credit for first semester classes. We're grateful not to have lost his sophomore year.
Blessings on your new year. You have been given everything for life and godliness, IPeter1:3.
