40 days??

Ok, so I know there are a lot of things in the Bible that happens in forty days.  And well, we just found out our hopes for going home this week are not really realistic.  So, next week Monday will be the 40th day of us being here, so I am thinking out journey should be over. 
We have a new room mate today again.  She is a strong 13 year old.  Someone we can relate too.  I am thinking she will be going home soon.  She had a surgery today and she is out walking around waiting to eat.  Once her belly does it's thing, she will be eating and going home.  What a nice thing for her, plus we have someone else that can use our sign :-)
Today Kasi had 3 carrots, 3 slices of cucumber, peas, and fresh fruit.  All of which should be fat free, much to our surprise there is some fat in those.  Well, she is now in pain in her belly, but we are thinking it is not from her pancreatitus, but more bowel pain.  Although we are not totally sure, the Dr.'s ask her where her pain is when she has it and it is not in the place it would normally be for pancreatitus.  All of this to say, her belly is starting to work after a long rest!  She is going to try and have a baked potato here in a few minutes and hopefully that will settle everything and she will be okay.  We will find out soon.  We also were told that her magic going home number will be around 50 or less.  We are at 94 today.  She also has to do this diet thing one day at a time.  When she is getting enough calories in she will then be able to get off her TPN. 
Her PICC line no longer wants to give blood which is a pain because that means they have to draw blood every morning with another poke.  Not a big deal, but it is a use for her PICC line and it bums Kasi out that she has to get woke up now and poked.  Just a frustration.  We are thankful it does flush good though because if it didn't profuse we would have to do something about that.  As it is, the PICC is fine, and that is a plus.  I remember when she got the line in I was kind of questioning the whole thing because I thought, "why would they put this in if she will start eating in a couple of days".  Little did I know at that time.  She is going on 3 weeks with the PICC.  Super glad she has it now.
Our biggest request is going home.  We want to go home, but we want to be faithful with the time we have up here.  Help us not to get near sighted and not see what God would have us say and do while we are up here.  Also help us prepare to go home!!  Pray for God's hand to rest upon Kasi and heal her belly, taking all the pain away.  Pray for Monday to be the day!  That is next week you know, and if they say not this week, well let's go for Monday! 
Love to you all!!  Thanks for all the cards and stuff.  I know it is hard to think and pray for us all the time, just know we feel them all and love them all!!  Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow....Blessings all mine with 10,000 beside.  Great is His faithfulness!   (thank you Debi)
