Landon is HOME!!
Landon came home on Monday. He was so excited to be out of the hospital that he went to Walmart and rode an electric cart which was humiliating for him. Then he decided to go along while his mom and dad took Cameron out to eat for his birthday. We (his grandparents) flew into town that evening and drove to Landon's parents house to check on him and spend the night since we were still without electricity in our home. We arrived in time to go out to eat and celebrate with Cameron. He turned 17 on the 17th. The wait at the restaurant was an hour and Landon had to go to the car. Needless to say...he overdid it.
Thursday was a very painful day for him, but after resting and getting his pain under control, he was much better on Friday.
He is on TPN....iv food supplement and home health care comes daily and hooks him up with a new bag. The wound care nurse comes every other day. He still cannot eat as his intestines need a complete rest for several more weeks/months. They are talking about doing another surgery in a month to reverse the fistula and do something with the intestines. He still has a long road ahead. Pray that he will be encouraged in the Lord. This is very hard on him and very depressing at times, but we serve a God who will be with him through it all.
Blessings to all of you who have prayed for him. Thanks for all the cards and phone calls. We appreciate your concern.

Landon,You don't know us but we know your mom through Arrow... We have been praying for you and will continue. It is clear that you are a strong and brave person. Keep your head up high and know that even people you have never met are praying for you and love you! Natalie Strole and Family
Landon, My name is Matt Whetzel. I work with your mom at Arrow. I can't begin to understand the journey you are going through, but i have known many that have endured medical struggles and I have learned from them that God becomes more real for them during the tough times. I pray that God will reveal himself to you like He never has before and that you will find encouragement from others with testimonies of God's strength and miraculous intervention.
