The latest

 Hello family and friends.  Sorry for the delay in posting an update.

 Pearce was discharged from the hospital Monday.  We were thrilled to be going home after our second stay in the hospital. Things seem to be going much better than after the first surgery. But then, unfortunately, yesterday evening Pearce began to complain about the eyesight in his good eye. So we jumped on this and drove back from o the ER to get it checked.  The doctors checked his vision and it was stable. Praise God! Then they also checked that his shunt was working properly and it was. The pressure in his brain has come down to a normal level.  Out of an abundance of caution, they decided to keep Pearce at the hospital for one more night so they could check his vision again in the morning. We are waiting on that check up but it seems that Pearce's eyes are doing even better. We are so grateful!!   After being told yesterday morning that Pearce is legally blind and it's very uncertain how much vision he will get back, we are thrilled that he is seeing better!! God is answering the prayers of restored vision.

 Amy and I have some fried nerves after the past 2 weeks but we are trying to rest in God's sovereignty and goodness even when all of this really doesn't make any sense to us.

We continue to be deeply humbled by all of the generosity and support you all have shown us! Thank you so much for your prayers and changing of schedules and visits and meals and words of encouragement and on and on!!
