Julia was able to get in her CT scan this afternoon. She was told this morning that might be one of her last hurdles before going home. Her MRI didn't show anything abnormal and they decided not to draw any fluid from her since that is always a risk for invection. Her temperature has basically been normal since Friday at 2am (below 38C), so tonight it will be 48 hours. Since she hasn't taken any Tylenol or Advil for a week now, we are pretty sure that is her real temp.
Her doctor is off this weekend, but the gynecologist on call is supposed to check Julia tomorrow morning, review the CT results, give our doctor a call, and then possibly discharge Julia. So maybe, by the time some of you read this, she may be home already :)
Today was another wonderful day. Maria (Julia's mom), Marika and I visited this morning and Julia was able to feed her again and just spend time with her. Here is a little video from today.

We had a few errands to run this afternoon and Julia had her CT. Earlier this week, my boss had called asking about the hospital food. His wife had an extended stay in the hospital as well and they knew what Julia was experiencing on the dietary front. He told me to go out and get an order in dinner for her on him. This week Julia has been building up her dietary intake to the point where that sounded like a great idea. So Julia got to eat one of her favourite dinners tonight, chicken fettuccine alfredo! Thanks Tom! I also grabbed another movie so we kind of did the whole dinner and a movie thing :)
We are praying that the on call guy shows up tomorrow and we'll keep you posted!
Love,
Matt, Julia & Marika

My darling Kindred Spirit, I had thought of you often, prayed frequently, but really had no idea how serious it was until today. What a testimony! What a courageous battle, you are a true prov 31 woman of God. Believing for a full and hastey recovery and that you will get home today. All our love from NZ, Matt and Beeje
Hi Matt & Julia,
I've been following your blog since my mom (Peggy)came out of the hospital and have been praying for Julia's full recovery. Like yours, my family has seen firsthand the faithfulness of God through trying circumstances. And it's truly amazing to see the power of prayer, isn't it?
It's encouraging to hear Julia may be (or may have been) released from hospital soon. I know being at home has made a huge difference for my mom, as it will for Julia.
Know that we all continue to pray for complete healing for Julia.
By the way, Marika is adorable!!
