Glad to be home....

I tell you, this has been a week that I would rather not remember. Joey went downhill fast and with out warning. I got up Sat night in the middle of the night to feed him and he was so weak that he couldn't hold his own bottle. Then, Sunday morning, he had improved some what, but not enough. Off to Riley we went. Joey had a G-tube put in on Thursday and thankfully, they were able to do his muscle biopsy at the same time. We were glad for that. We are praying that gives us some idea of what is going on inside of his little body. He is just so sweet. We were surprised at how quickly he bounced back. By Thursday evening, he was giggling and sitting up. By Friday, we had a new boy... by Saturday... look out house... Here comes Joey... by Sunday, WE COULDN'T KEEP UP! He terrorized mamaw and papaw's house! Ha! Not one of us grumbled about chasing him either. This was the first EVER that we have seen him with this much energy. It was hard to sign the paper's to agree to the G-tube, however, we are now thankful that we did. We couldn't ask for anything more wonderful than the extra giggles we have heard and even the extra trouble our guy has gotten into! =) His sight is healing well. He had some infection, but nothing too bad. The redness is almost gone. Yeah!!! Thank you to every one who prayed, e-mailed, called, came to visit, prepared meals and every thing in between! We can't express how loved we feel. The way that all of you surrounded us was COMPLETELY amazing and comforting. We love every one of you!!
