Axel Update!

Axel is still doing remarkably well! Thank you all so very much for your prayers. He's such a strong little man and he'll continue to need your prayers throughout the next year or so as his little body heals from this. But the GREAT news is that he is healing, and he's healing faster than the doctor's even hoped for! So much that Axel got to go home on Saturday, July 18th. He'll return to Levine Children's Hospital in Charlotte in 2 weeks for a check up. Way to go Axel! We are all so very proud of you!!

This pic was actually taken the day before his heart surgery, but it was so cute I wanted to share it with you. I grabbed this from the site his mamaw updates for him on caringbridge.

"But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee." Isaiah 43:1-2

God created you sweet Axel, and he LOVES you, and he is WITH you every step of the way!
Love, your cousins Eric, Steph, Jenna, and Lexie
