Marie has dashed down the hall to make some popcorn, leaving me the opportunity to post an entry and make amends for not posting last weekend!
You could really title our day "Welcome to Limbo". Well, you could also call it "God is Really Good" and "Josiah Is Such a Really Cute Boy We're Absolutely in Love With Him". Limbo: the doctors did nothing today about Josiah's tube, mostly because they couldn't really decide what to do. An ENT doctor did drop by and said that if the 3.0 mm causes any problems, they'll just replace it with another 3.0 mm. We know that Josiah's extubation is regarded as 'elective' in the OR, yet we're trying our best to get a time for Josiah's extubation on Wednesday so that everyone can pray specifically. So stay tuned for that. Obviously if there is an emergency case that comes in the OR that day it could bump Josiah's slot, but hey God's in control and he'll answer our prayers. Rob told me today that our church is going to be open on Wednesday for drop-in prayer for our little guy. We are blessed; not many babies in the world get this much attention, support, and prayer.
Josiah had a pretty good day. Slept lots, though when he is awake he does have a lot of secretions. Our evening nurse is a neat lady. She's big into stimulation and went off to get him a bunch of crib toys tonight to maintain his interest when we aren't around. Pretty sweet.
Thanks for our visitors today: Christina, Kevin & Dana H., and Luke & Kari W., Janice & Leanne D., and Andrea.
Time for beddy-bye. Blessings, Peace & Grace.
- Andrew, Marie & Josiah

You ARE so very blessed!!! That's awesome that your church will be open for prayer warriors...so cool!
Go God Go!!
Just wanted to thank Marie for letting me come in and meet Josiah. The pictures dont do him justice. He is so adorable and to see Marie and him interact was worth the 2 hour trip out on the bus to come and visit.
I will come out again soon and bring Kennedy with me.
Love, Christina
oh dear.
rgqyuexHello Andrew, Marie and Josiah ~
We had lunch with Marie's parents after church yesterday and hoped to get up to the hospital to visit with you along with them, but it didn't work out.
We continue to keep you close to our hearts and in our prayers. The blog is so informative - thanks for doing this so we can pray more effectively.
The Moms at Regent Christian Academy (Surrey) and the staff and teachers (where I (Bev) am on on-call teacher) will be praying for Josiah on Wed. in particular. My parents and a dear friend from Bakerview church, plus the Bear Creek Church congregation will also be in prayer.
Love, Passtor Ross & Bev Johnston
