Last week this time we were gearing up for our 3rd night in the hospital and still not sure when Elias was going to be coming home. He was released from the hospital on Monday and has been under the close care of his loving mother and Grandma Donna. He has been back to see the Dr. twice since being home and is on the right path for recovery. He didn’t go to school (hopefully that is obvious) and we still aren’t sure when he will have the energy for that. Full recovery from severe pneumonia can take upwards of 4-6 weeks… that just seems crazy to me. We are very blessed to have access to great medical care. It is so good to just have him back at home. He certainly looks weak and lost several pounds which his slight build didn’t really have many to spare. Thank you for the ongoing prayers, concern and love.

So glad he’s ok!
