Hello All
Marie and I took the weekend to be in Calgary for her brother's wedding. It was a brief, busy, and excited time to be with family.
Josiah has done very well of late. His temperature seems to have stabilized after the staff were able to lower the temperature of the TCU (it's always been a few degrees higher than normal room temperature, and no one has been able to fix it until now). Josiah continues to do very well with his LTV ventilator, and we look forward to when he'll be on it all-day long. After that we might be able to take him on short trips!
Josiah has had the odd dying spell: usually brief, but one he needed to be chloralled for one last week. It's strange hearing that he's had dying spells again after going for so long without one, but it seems that his lungs are filled with more secretions these days. Please pray that Josiah will be able to manage/clear his secretions better and that his lungs will be 'dry'.
And how our boy is growing! I keep forgetting to give you the latest numbers: Josiah was weighed at 10.8 kg last week (that's almost 24 pounds) and is 30 inches long! Yikes!
Josiah is also doing well seizure-wise. It seems for the moment that his latest seizure med is working for he's had one only brief (and possibly false) seizure in the last week. Praise God!
That'll do for now.
-Andrew, Marie & Josiah
PS Check your mailboxes for a picture of Josiah. A BC Children's Hospital Lottery pamphlet that was mailed today/late last week has a picture of our boy! The picture isn't the greatest because his face is kind of 'rashy' in it, but that's because he just finished a bath and his skin reacts to the detergent used to clean the linens.
