Josiah Update - Evening Thursday February 19th

Hi Again

Josiah is doing well. Slept a lot this afternoon, mostly out of boredom I think ;) Marie was able to get a lot of sleep too ... so I got to watch the hockey game! Yay!

Josiah is taking IV antibiotics for his ear infection. His dilantin (seizure med) levels were astronomically high, so that might be the cause of his bizarre behavior last night, but they are not certain what exactly happens when dilatin levels become toxic. We've used liquid dilantin since May '08, but something about this last dose ... the suspension didn't hold together well enough and got too concentrated at the bottom we suppose. His levels are going to be monitored so that they drop down to a normal range.

This will probably be the last update for the day. We'd like to see Josiah head home tomorrow, but that all depends on his antibiotics and if they need to be continued via IV or if he can switch to oral. All in all, Marie and I have enjoyed our 'family time' :)

Thanks for the prayers.
- Andrew, Marie & Josiah
