Hello All,

We are sorry we are just getting the information about Devin's doctors appointment to you.

Everything went very well. The doctors are all astounded at his progress and have all fallen in love with him, just like the rest of us. Ü

His surgery remains successful, the fluid doesn't appear to be a problem and they have not noticed an increase in the fluid since they did the draining in the hospital. They addressed the fullness of the left side of his head above his ear and the doctors have explained that the muscles in that area have become atrophied. Basically he has lost the muscle tone, which he may get back once the bone flap that was replaced begins to become "alive" again. The blood vessels will likely adhere to the skin on the interior portion of his head and cause that skin to tighten back up. He will have his stitches removed in a week and has been such a trooper through this whole ordeal.

He currently is seeing an occupational and physical therapist and they are working diligently to get his right side moving. They are noticing that he is beginning to have movement on that side, and when stimulated in the correct way he is showing signs of trying to sit up on his own, and will eventually get to the point where he can pull him self up onto the furniture (i.e coffee table/couch) much like a toddler trying to learn to walk.

He has learned what kisses are... when you ask him for a kiss he will lean in with an open mouth and give you a wet one!

We ask that you continue your prayers in his recovery and healing. Please pray for his right side to become stronger and that his brain be able to "rewire" itself so he can have the potential of full mobility.

Please pray for Katy and the rest of the Adams family as they learn to care for Devin on a 24 hour basis. His needs are so important to them and they are willing to lay down their lives for this precious little boy. We encourage you to remember to continue to lift them in prayer and ask that the Lord give them strength and patience throughout this difficult time.

Many blessings to you all!

And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
Colossians 3:15-17 ESV

  4. There's nothing better than getting positive reports back from the medical community I'm sure! I keep you guys in my prayers every day and I'm thankful for Devin that he's continuing to grow strong. I remember when my daughters kisses were the big, open-mouth, wet kisses! Those are the best :)
