It looks like Josiah will be coming home tonight! Josiah is set to go after his last IV antibiotic tonight, and we're excited that this hospital stay has been so short. He's in much better spirits today (was able to have a bath, trache ties, and handled crying hard without getting 'dusky'). His dilantin levels (seizure med) are still high, but they believe they should be back within normal range tonight. His trache aspirate (that's loogie or booger for the uninformed!) shows he does have an infection, but nothing to be alarmed about. I imagine he'll continue with oral (g-tube) antibiotics for his ear infection for a while to make sure that it's completely cleared up.
Thanks for the prayers.
- Andrew, Marie & Josiah

Hi Andrew & Marie ~ I'm so sorry that this has been such a rough week but glad that Josiah got such good care at ARH and Children's. He is one tough little fellow and you two are amazing! I'll continue to pray that Josiah will overcome his infections and get stronger. Hopefully you will get some rest too. Love, Bev (& Ross)
