Thursday Evening - A Josiah Update

Hey Out There ...

The next two days are big ones for the Haak clan. For the next two nights (Friday and Saturday) Marie and I are going to be the sole care-providers for Josiah as we participate in our 'Care By Parent Weekend'. We'll be given a room upstairs in the hospital and we will be without nursing the support the entire time to prepare us for what home care will be like. Pray for us as we work out the kinks, discover what works and doesn't, and figure out on-the-fly what going home will really be like!

God's Peace.
-Andrew, Marie & Josiah

Go Parents!! I'm praying you will enjoy this first weekend. What a great concept to have this time before heading home for real. Blessings on you. Praying this exciting challenge goes very well.

Hi guys
What an exciting time. I am sure that you will enjoy the alone time and independence to see what it is really like...I know we looked forward to the time where we didn't always have the input from others and had to do it on our own. One more step towards going home. Congratulations and we will be thinking about you. I am sure that all will go well and you will know just what to do. It will give you the added confidence that you need to get on your way home. You are always in our thoughts.
Luv Daleste Blair and Hayden.
PS Seen Marie on the news...what a fabulous job. And Josiah looked wonderful too.

You two will do just fine. Your love for Josiah is amazing and I'm glad you'll have the opportunity to be with him in this way.

You'll be in our thoughts and prayers as always. God is good.

Love,

Not a day goes by that we don't think of the three of you. We are truly excited - one more milestone in the journey to coming HOME! Baby steps one day at a time is still my motto.
Hugs and prayers all round,
Love Eileen and Doug Gunn(Haydens grandparents)
