Hey Crew
Josiah continues to be alright. It's hard watching him sometimes because it appears that he doesn't enjoy being groggy - who wouldn't eh? Josiah is given chloral whenever he can't stay asleep and gets angry; it isn't exactly every 8 hours, but whenever he needs it. He gets all stretchy and frustrated when he tries to wake up because the sedatives are working against him and his desires. Right now they have him on continuous chloral (a re-dose every 6-8 hrs) so that he's all relaxed for tomorrow morning.
If we are given a time for Josiah's surgery, I'll post it as soon as I can so that you all can be in the loop. We are so in wonder how you all have prayed so faithfully and fervently for our son. I can't think of anything in my life that has been given so much prayer by so many people. We are grateful. We have been asking God for Josiah's safety through the surgery and the following week as he body heals. We are praying that the surgery will be as successful as possible, that Josiah will not be frustrated by his time under paralysis and that he will recover happily. We are also praying that God doesn't forget of Josiah's epiglottis troubles and the healing he needs there. And we ask that God will use us in whatever way he seems fit, and that Marie & I will have the strength, courage, and patience we need during this time.
By the way, Josiah has passed the 9 pound mark! Yup, he cruised by 4100 grams earlier last week.
Marie has returned from a great and refreshing time in Calgary. I'm going to be heading back into Van tonight, but a little after the game starts so that the traffic is better :)
In God's Rest.
- Andrew, Marie & Josiah

And I pray now...in case I forget tomorrow...that the surgery tomorrow morning will go smoothly...that they'll be no complications and little Josiah will awake from it SO REFRESHED and HAPPY...I want to see a picture of him laughing and smiling!!! Jesus...please fill Josiah with your uncontrollable joy...AMEN~
Bless you guys! I am still praying.
Hi Andrew and Marie
I promised Jenisa I would write. She has been very concerned with Josiah's operation and has been praying and moping and wouldn't go to sleep until I promised to enter a prayer on your blog. Jenisa prays that: "nothing else will go wrong with Josiah. That no arm or leg will be broken... That they won't cut off his foot [referring to his extra toes]"
In fact, she does not want Josiah to have the operation at all.
Jenisa knows a little bit what it is like because she's had a number of tests for her stomach problems and feels a lot of empathy for Josiah.
