Hello from our Dallas-Hotel-Livin'-Selves! We wanted to update everyone on just how well Silas is doing. He was discharged from the hospital Friday afternoon with very specific instructions....shampoo his hair. That's it. No bandages, no pain meds unless absolutely necessary, nothing. Just good ole' Johnson and Johnson. Due to his underdeveloped lungs and the breathing spell in the hospital, he is receiving some asthma medication 6 times a day. Other than that, he is just hanging out with Mommy and Daddy, Nana and Papa waiting for his head to return to normal. Although that will take about four months time, we can visibly see a difference already. By the end of next week, 70% of the swelling should have disappeared.
Now, along with the whole brain surgery thing, Silas decided to pull off another major milestone...his first two teeth! We guess he took that "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth" thing literally!!
Overall, Sy's recovery has been amazing. He is such a little trooper and has come through this remarkably well. It truly has been a testament to the faithfulness of our Lord and Savior. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever...His mercies new every morning. For that we are forever grateful!
We will be traveling home on Tuesday. Regardless of what the pulmonologist says, Sy's lungs are more than well developed. Our biggest prayer right now is that he chooses not to make use of them on our flights.
We cannot begin to describe the absolute joy and relief that we are experiencing now that this is all behind us! Again, thank you all for your continued prayers!
With Much Love,
J.L., Heidi and Silas

What a testimony to God's love and care for His children!!! Praying that He will wrap His loving arms around all of you. May God bless you.
Hello from California. I tried to lkeave a message earlier in the week but for some reason it did not post-probably user error on my end. Glad to hear that you all are home and recovering nicely. Aunt June kept my Mom up to date during the time in Dallas and we were sending lots of good thoughts and prayers your way. Here is to a happy and healthy holiday season-and maybe a few more teeth!!!
Dude looks a lot like JL. I'm really beginning to see it. I guess that's ok. Come on, Heidi, you gotta be representin' some "Ward-ness" genes in there somewhere. But I'll be patient.
In all seriousness, he is looking good. What a beautiful baby boy. I have been thinking of all three of you.
