Updates on AVERY. (good news update pg 33 post 489!)

Still remembering Avery and praying for a release from the hospital soon!

Hey you all...life's been crazy as usual...I came down with a chest cold late last that has settled into laryngitis this week, feeling kinda blah but just can't take the time out to rest and get rid of it once and for all...between work and the new house. This too shall pass.

Avery has been doing GREAT...the procedure and follow ups on that drainage issue in his back have progresed very successfully. He is spending much more time out of bed, out and about the hospital just for scenery changes and doing PT and such. Nothing has been mentioned about a release date the last few days. My gut is telling me that it's coming --but because of the hopes and then setbacks before, I think DS and DIL are not saying anything to anyone. I think they don't want to "jinx" things and that it will be sudden to the rest of us when they say "Avery is going home..."

Wonderful, wonderful news.

Great news about Avery, Ann. So glad he's up and about.

Sorry you're not feeling well, but it's no surprise you're run down with everything going on. Hope you feel better soon. Take care.

Continued prayers for you and your family, especially Avery.

I have been thinking about Avery on our trip to WDW and could not wait to get back and check on him..

So glad that he is doing better Ann, wow...amazing how resilient children are, they bounce back after horrifying experiences... I have him in my prayers still and hopefully we can get him home to his family and just visiting hospital on an outpatient basis..

You take care of you too.....hugs all around.

glad to see things are going better for Avery. I hope you're correct and that he will be going home soon. {{{HUGS}}} to you And of course continued prayers for Avery

Avery is doing great! he's been having antibacterial sponges inserted and then changed out every 2-3 days this past week...this is in his back where there was an area of abcess/infection that would not drain through tubes. It's healing very well, smaller sponge each time. This appears to be the final hurdle before possible release and back to outpatient chemo for the leukemia. Keeping fingers/toes and everything crossed and praying too of course. In between procedures he is feeling well enough to be doing some PT, excursions to the medical center's food court and shopping areas, children's playroom and even the teen lounge where there's a big screen TV. His humor and personality are back full force.

SO HAPPY TO HEAR THIS GREAT NEWS!

My little Cam is still praying for Avery every night. We read your update just before bed last night, so Cam's prayer went like this...

Dear God please make Avery better, and better, and better, and better, and better... (he said that over and over for about 5 minutes)... and better, so he can go home with his sisters!

And, he told me that when Avery's cancer is all gone and he feels better we are having a play date! I can't wait for that day!

So happy to hear Avery is doing well. He and family continue to be on my prayer list.

Ann, I'm so happy the news continues to be good. Just the fact that he is up and around is wonderful. I'll continue to pray that all the other bad stuff stops and he can just concentrate on the leukemia.

Big news.....they are planning to release Avery home on Tuesday!!
He will stll have the vacuum dranaige for the incision in his back...he will be having PT at home each day as well as daily visiting nurse, and day trips up to Hanover twice a week for the time being....but this is just so amazing (and a bit scarey). In 6-8 weeks he will be in another intensive chemo phase which can be tricky, but they are hopeful his strength level will withstand any little bugs that dare to come knocking.
He, and his whole family are in great spirits and looking forward to adjusting to another "new normal"

I'll keep my fingers and toes crossed that all goes well. And of course, I'll keep praying for that little angel.

This is so amazing. He has come so far!!!! I prayed for Avery last night. And have done so over this stressful time. So nice to see he is getting home. A little miracle we can all be thankful for.

 

[Dan Murphy]

Great updates to see, Ann. What a good read.

Continued prayers for Avery and all the family.

How WONDERFUL! Oh, best wishes to the whole family as Avery is welcomed home. And to you too, Ann...you have been very faithful about bringing his story to us and updating us so we could pray for him. Please continue to tell us about his progress.

 

[TruBlu]

Tomorrow is the big day!!! We're praying that all goes well and sending lots of love to our Avery!!!

 

[Mackey Mouse]

I cannot wait to see how it goes for Avery tomorrow......lots of hugs and good wishes coming your way for a safe trip home and just comfortable time with his family...

Ann, let us know how it goes, please...
