Well, Drs. gave me permission to get a wheel chair and take lee outside today to get some fresh air. HE LOVED IT!!! We went out this afternoon for about 45 mins., then again later this evening and stayed out for a little over an hour. This was the first time in 3 weeks that Lee had even sat on the side of the bed, then to top it off,stood up and got into a wheel chair. He was a little wobbly, but that's to be expected since he hasn't been out of bed in 3 weeks. He leaned on Landon and I, but he really wasn't putting that much weight on me... so I think he was doing most of it himself. He was getting a little ticked that he couldn't hardly lift himself from the chair... disguested that he couldn't even lift his own body weight. That's when I reminded him, that is why he needed to eat better. So that he could get his strength back up. I'm sure we'll go out again tomorrow and I'm sure he'll be a little stronger tomorrow.

The drs. said his kidneys were doing much better today, so they didn't do another dialysis. Hopefully he won't need anymore. The liver enzymes were also still coming down. I actually got the nerve to ask the dr. today when I was gonna be able to get him out of there and back home. He didn't give me any day, but he smiled and said, "hopefully pretty soon". so I take that to be a pretty positive thought. They are going to do some physical therapy with him, but they weren't sure when they were going to get started on that. They're doing an ultra sound tomorrow of his gal bladder. Those enzymes are elevated a little. They want to make sure he doesn't have any gal stones. They don''t think he does, because he hasn't had any pain.... now that the cathater is fixed. so pray that the test just comes back clear.

He is just continuing to get stronger and better everyday. God has so answered prayer. I see a miracle everytime I look into his eyes. I asked him today if he knew that he had stopped breathing.... he just shook his head no, and in a few seconds started to cry. But I touched his cheek and said... but look at you now. You're getting better everyday. I told him about all the emails i have kept from all of you who have sent so many prayers and thoughts our way. He was very deeply touched Thank you God for bringing him back to me.

Will be back with more good news tomorrow.

Love to you all,
Lev
