Pictures of Asher today

This is "the cage." Maybe they plan on some baby WWF going on? Slight overkill? I added the mobile when he seemed to get to the point of caring about such things.



I love this look. The big eyes and biting his bottom lip.....



Look at how happy! I just cannot express my awe at our last few days. It is hard to comprehend how he seems so well, so fast. I guess I don't need to understand, I just know that it is God.



You can see his PICC line in this one.



Chill-laxing with daddy. I thought this picture was so cute for some reason.


Again, thank you so much for your prayers and keep them coming! I know, probably more clearly than ever, that God directly intervened on Asher's behalf. He healed him and he healed him fast. We still have a little more healing to go, but we are just completely praising God.
We will leave to go home either after his daily antibiotic dose at 2:00 or 4:00 (it is still up in the air).
Oh, and for those who care, the type of bacterial meningitis he has is Haemophilus Influenza, non type B. If you get your kids vaccinated, you will see a HIB vaccination on there these days. This is what it is vaccinating against. Asher had a HIB vaccination in Ethiopia (thanks to our agency) so they were sure he didn't have HIB. Well, he did have the Haemophilus Influenza, just not the type "B." I think that is why they didn't expect this type and it is rare.

Psalms 10:14, 17-18

"You are the helper of the fatherless.  LORD, You have heard the desire of the humble; You will prepare their heart; You will cause Your ear to hear, To do justice to the fatherless and the oppressed, That the man of the earth may oppress no more."
