Hungry, Hungry, Hungry.

Well, if eating counts for anything (Which it does count for a small amount I think) then Max will be home in record time. He is always hungry and will eat anything we give him! Even now as I am typing (past his bedtime) he is begging for food!

My best news of the day (even better than the urine I think) was the news that we got our second negative E Coli stool sample. He is out of isolation now!!! Until now, he has had to stay in the room all the time. I was able to take him outside, but only if I promised not to let him touch the elevators or anything else on the way, and to keep him in the wagon! He has now been released from Isolation and is allowed to play outside with all the toys and go into the child life playroom tomorrow when it opens. This should make our days pass much better!!

Hey Max, et al!
It's good to hear you are hungry! What's your favorite thing to eat?
I am so glad you are feeling better! God is good, and it's awesome He is healing you so quickly!
We miss seeing you guys wrestling on the floor at church (oops! Am I supposed to tell that you wrestle on the floor?! Good thing they keep it clean!)
Hurry and come home soon - you are missed! We are still praying!

Max, Sam, Shannon & Levi -

We are so encouraged every day we read your posts! But I can only imagine that our encouragement is but a speck compared to what you guys are feeling now that things are starting to look up!!

Shannon, Duane & I attend the CTK that Shahram & Michelle (Lund) Hadian pastor! Michelle and I talk about you guys a lot, and can't believe what a small, small world it truly is...

Max, that is so cool that you are hungry and that you had the special visit from the police! How exciting! My son, Zach (who is 12) wants to be a police officer...I will have to tell him that you got to visit with some REAL police people!

Well, as we are going to bed here in Lake Stevens, we are praying for you and your whole family!

God is great!

Love, Tiffany & Duane

Hi Max- it's Connor Mickel again.
Mom just told me that you are having fun eating now- that's great. I like to eat. My favorite food is chicken strips cooked in the toaster oven. I also like grilled cheese sandwiches.
We have school tomorrow. I like school, but I prefer reading. Math is hard.
I hope you are feeling better every day. We pray for you at night and at Sunday school too.
I hope I get to see you soon,
Love, Connor

Max, what fun to have been visited by real police! I hope your days at the hospital are coming to an end and that you make some friends in the play areas :)

Levi, Max is very lucky to have you for an older brother. Hang in there buddy.

Sam and Shannon, I am sooo excited at all the ways God is providing for you! You both have been amazing through this process. I will continue to pray for blessings on you both as you walk through this recovery process.

God be praised!
