Hello Everybody
It's been a late and long night and it's time for bed. I want to write up a detailed account of what we've been going through but I just don't have it in me. We're learning to trust that GOD is watching out for Josiah, not us and not the doctors and not the nurses, and to leave things in HIS hands.
Please pray for Josiah's continued safety (that his d-sats, brady-s, suctions, and throw-up won't harm him), that the nurses will be vigilant (because sometimes they really aren't - GRRRR!), and that the doctors in the morning will make the right decision - God's decision! - as to whether or not they should extubate/intubate Josiah again and put in a breathing tube that doesn't have cuff. The cuff is a seal at the bottom of the tube that - in our observations as well as Dr. Catherine's, a real sweetheart of a person who has been such an encouragement - has been a steady source of frustration and irritation for Josiah. Please pray for Josiah's safety and the doctor's wisdom if they do choose to re-intubate him. A Dr. Pascal is on tomorrow and we can trust his judgment because he's worked with Josiah lots.
Thanks. Sleepy time.

Dear Jesus,
wrap yourself tightly around this family not to let them go...stay close to their hearts and enable them all to flourish...for you KNOW us...you KNOW our plans...our waking and our sleeping...you KNOW HOW we were knit in our Mother's wombs (when Doctors don't)and you, Holy Spirit, PLEED for our healing so Lord I pray..."if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in [Josiah], he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to [his] mortal body through his Spirit, who lives in [him] and in you." Ro8:11 "We [also] know that the whole creation [or world] has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he already has? But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently." Ro8:22-25 So Jesus you tell us that in this hope we were saved...I hope and pray that Josiah too will be saved...that you would redeem his body...and Holy Spirit that you would intercede with all the saints to prepare a place for him in this world without too much pain or no pain at all...but that would be Heaven now wouldn't it? So Lord God my Father, your will be done on this Earth as it is in Heaven this day,,,in your name I pray give us today our daily bread that includes Josiah and his feedings too Lord...But i know you already are with him...can you please show us your power, have mercy on us and forgive us of our impatience...we just don't want to see little Josiah in so much pain...heal him Lord...Thank-you for the work you've done, the work you will do and the work that is to come...AMEN
