In rounds today the team decided that TJ should come home for a day pass on Sunday (like a trial run) and be discharged on Monday afternoon! Yippee! Antibiotics finish tomorrow- earlier than planned as he is responding so well which means NO tubes after tomorrow and no IV meds at home. He did stairs inside and outside in PT and walked some long halls. He was totally exhausted at the end of the day- but just 7 days ago it took 2 nurses to move him from a chair into bed! We will get the specifics of outpatient therapies at discharge, but probably all three-"SPOT"- about three times a week.
Monday morning the infectious disease specialist has a conference call with the head of MRSA research at the University of Minnesota and the Minnesota Department of Health to figure out what this super bug is that made TJ so very ill.
God is so good. Our gratitude to all of you prayer warriors is inexpressible!

Woohoo!! We are rejoicing greatly at this news. We have been following this blog every day and praying. God is so good!! This is wonderful news!

We are amazed and thrilled that TJ will be going home soon. It has been a faith-building experience for me to follow this saga of God at work in such a dramatic way. I have been so encouraged to see the way in which brothers and sisters around the world have come together to pray and seek God for TJ's healing.
We will continue to pray for a complete recovery and healing of the heart valve as well. It will be great to hear from TJ when he is ready to tell us his side of the story (what he remembers of it!). Praise to God for his indescribable love.

Thank you Father.
Praise God! Would love to hear from TJ himself when he is able. What a joyous homecoming it will be.

We do surely have an awesome GOD!
God is so gooooood! I thank Him for allowing us to be a part of this!!!
What wonderful news! Home Sweet Home! We would also like to hear what that MRSA resistant Super Bug is.
We are rejoicing with you and are equally grateful for the things God has done in our lives as we became part of those praying for TJ.

Hey TJ - You didn't have to go to such drastic measures to get us to read the blog! Well, maybe you did, but from now on, we promise, promise, promise to faithfully read THE BLOG - even the wives!
Keep up the good work. We miss you.

It has been a scary, yet awesome journey for the family, close friends and TJ. I have been one of those people keeping tabs on this situation every day and have been praying for him. This is a spectacular miracle and I rejoice with all of you. I continue to pray that all of his therapies continue to go well and that he WILL be able to go home on Monday. Praise be to God!
God is so good!!
We are excited and relieved that TJ is on his way to a full recovery (we are confident God will continue to provide strength)!
We look forward to hearing about TJ's continued progress, that we might praise our Father for all He has done.

IN AWE OF OUR AMAZING GOD!!! My faith is stronger for healing due to this AWE-some journey with you in prayer and seeing God do what only He can. Continuing to ask for TJ's COMPLETE HEALING in Jesus name, Amen.
