James was indeed discharged today - and we are glad. We are beginning to feel like we are on a cross-country hospital tour. James is feeling much better today. I could tell when he was starting to get irritated with a lot of things this morning. When he isn't feeling well, he really doesn't care. So, under these circumstances, crabby is good. His sodium is still only 130, but they felt it was safe to discharge him and just have him eat a high-sodium diet.
Loice helped us get back to the hotel, stop at the bank, and get some breakfast. She has been such a help. We are going to rest for today and hopefully get to church tomorrow.
We are at the same Extended Stay America Hotel in Horsham, PA and we are in room 218.
Isaiah 41:20 - "That they may see, and know, and consider, and understand together, that the hand of the LORD hath done this...." James was diagnosed with an optic glioma in 1998 at 11 months old. For 12 years, he battled that tumor with a smile and a spirit that touched many lives. The Lord took him Home on November 21, 2010. We already miss him so much!! What a privilege it was to have called him ours.
One day, when James was about five years old, he asked me, "Why do I have to have a brain tumor?" James was not usually a complainer. He had been treated for his tumor almost his entire life and it was his way of life. But, I think he was getting tired. So, I said to him (and I believed it), when God was looking for someone to use to show the world what He could do, he chose James and a brain tumor. James stood there quiet for a few minutes...thinking...then boldly said, "And that is what I will do!!" I am so proud of him!! And I am so thankful that the Lord has allowed us to see Him work personally in our lives.

Hello Mrs. Neubauer,
I am so glad to hear of James' discharge! I hope you will be able to visit with us this Sunday. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.
