Then, a little to our surprise, we got discharge papers this morning! We got home this evening after a few errands in Atlanta and a stop at the outlets (of course) to two curious older siblings. They were well prepped for needing to be very gentle and that Samuel was going to look different and be a little bloody. They did well - we've got good kids.
So ... the craziness of our August is over - at least we are going to be here in our own house for the foreseeable future. It's been a good August. Full of family and good friends, weddings and vacation. The Lord has been good to us - faithful family and friends to walk with us and for us to walk with. We've had all the strength we've needed for all these days and continue to trust our Father for strength and grace for whatever comes next.
Thought we'd share some more photos for you. Certainly his appearance will continue to change over time as the swelling goes down and the lip begins to push/pull the upper palate back.
Here you can see one of his elbow braces - to keep him from messing with his mouth (which he has just found with his hands the last week or so!).

Looks great! We continue to pray for you and Samuel. What a fighter!
He looks amazing! We continue to pray for all of you!
Samuel is looking great. I was glad to read the update since I've been gone for 2 weeks and was wondering how the surgery went. Sara, it was wonderful having you with me at the wedding. Thanks for being there amidst all your family is dealing with. I love the Beachys.
He is such a cutie. I want to squeeze him. I love you guys and haven't forgotten you. Missing and watching from afar. Many Blessings. Jesus loves you.
Grant & Sara,
Your children are so precious. I was excited to come across your blog and so encouraged by your faith during such a difficult time. Samuel is beautiful. I prayed for you all tonight.
With love,
Cindy (Lewis) Leaf
