At the ten day mark, we were at Children's for a check up.
It was determined at that appointment that Austin
would be re-evaluated after two months ~ that will be mid February.

More information should be revealed at that time.
However, we are observing weekly improvements in our son.
Prior to the pacemaker being placed,
Austin was having trouble climbing stairs and walking around the block.
Since his surgery, there has been a slow, but steady, increase in his energy levels.
He was even able to walk the entire seawall at Stanley Park a few weeks ago!
We were able to complete the 5.5 mile (8.8 km) walk in about 1 3/4 hours ~
Austin even said that he could have kept going!
Please join with me in praising the LORD for His Goodness!!
He has done great things ~ we are thankful.

We were at the pacemaker clinic in Vancouver yesterday
for our seven week post-op check-up.
All seems to be stable and the numbers are the same
as they were at our last visit to Children's.
We are so thankful!

Crohn's, however, has been unhappy for awhile now.
We are tweaking and testing and pursuing different things.
We see specialists at Children's for both DCM and Crohn's.

What a blessing it is to know that God is in control,
and that He is Faithful to give wisdom as we require it.
Our gracious God has always given insight so that we have

Sometimes it takes awhile to figure out,
but, the answers come and the path is made clear.
By His grace, it is a journey that He is leading us on.
It is His prescription for us. How precious to rest in that!!
Through it all, Austin continues to have great grace.
And, the LORD gives him patience in this affliction.

So glad to hear how things are going, Camille. We continue to pray for Austin, and it's a blessing to have these updates to know how to pray specifically. How wonderful to hear how his heart issues are improving!!

Will pray about the Chrones :( hope it settles down soon. So thankful for the praise on his progress with the pacemaker inserted!

So glad the pacemaker is helping. Praying that God would give wisdom and knowledge in regards to the Crohn's. Praying for your family.
Thanks for the update on Austin's health and well being. Praising God along with you for his continued strengthening and continued prayers for him.
