They'll meet with all his doctors on 9/6 to discuss their recommendations for what's next - what kind of rehab, how long, etc.
They requests prayers for discernment as they'll have a lot of decisions to make at that time.
Nick is SO excited to come home!
Because of his advancements, life should be a bit easier than the last time he was home. But there will still be many challenges.
The El Cajon Posse has offered to come in and make modifications on the house to accommodate Nick's wheelchair. Hopefully they can get that done before the 7th.
Nick's doctor sent some of his blood to the Mayo Clinic, but the results aren't helpful in trying to determine the cause of all this. Children's just did some scans to see how the affected artery is healing. They should have results in a week.
Nick's improvements continue to be gradual - speech and movement slowly advancing.
Dwight and Lisa wanted us to see some photos of Nick's progress - an awesome picture of God's powerful, merciful hand at work in the life of this wonderful young man:

I can't wait to see you back at school. Mrs. Mena has moved from my 4th grade team up to 7th and 8th Writing and Speech. She put you at a table group and Rebekah is excited to be in it. She is looking forward to helping you in any way that she can.
You are living testimony that the faithful, fervant prayers of the righteous avail much!
