The Flog – The Fabry Log

Here's more information about Levi. This is from his mother's email that I will not include, but just highlight.

Day One was difficult after the surgery. He was hungry and wanted to go home with the other children. He cried, but that was good for him to show emotion rather than being lethargic.

Day Two saw lots of improvement. When some monitors were removed, he could sip water. Later it was chicken broth. Then apple juice, 2 popsicles, green jell-o, ginger ale, and beef broth.

Day Three. The central line was removed and he walked two laps around the unit. He colored, painted, and drew with markers, then played with several action figures.

Day Four (Friday). The plan was to eat solids and keep walking. If all goes well he will be discharged tonight!

And now, a special message from Levi's mother.

The verse I leave you with tonight is the one that we prayed since we learned of Levi's heart defects and impending surgery, Psalm 31:24:
"Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart, all you who hope in the Lord."

Each of us needed our hearts strengthened in different ways--Levi's physically; Mommy's emotionally; Daddy's mentally; and we'd tell the children, "Lean on Jesus during this time and turn to Him for your comfort and strength," so for the children, spiritually. We encourage you with it tonight in your own lives--in whatever manner you need strengthening.
