Monday Night - A Josiah Update

Hi Guys

Thanks for all the prayers. Josiah has been having a better day by a long shot. He has spells, but nothing major. He is also on one-to-one care tonight - the nurses have finally realized that they must give him this attention. One thing that could have been much worse: Marie went out for supper and when she came back Josiah was livid and had secretions up into his CPAP. He had a quick little down 'n up with his heart rate, but it was so fast the alarm didn't go off. After Marie suctioned Josiah and settled him, she went to talk to the nurses because they were completely oblivious (because the alarm hadn't gone off) and it was this one event that really spurred the nurses to make one-on-one happen for Josiah.

Marie is doing OK, and is really relieved to see Josiah have a day so much better than yesterday. I'm still not feeling 100%, but eh. Thanks again for the prayers. Talking to God works.

Grace & Peace.
- Andrew, Marie & Josiah

Hello Andrew, Marie & Josiah ~

Through tears I am looking up to God and asking Him, in all His mercy to come into Josiah's room and touch him with a miracle. So many prayers have been answered and there is much to praise Him for, but today you all need some more miracles.

"Lord, please be with this little family. Restore Andrew's health, encourage and strengthen Marie and heal Josiah. May they all feel your presence and your awesome power in a special way right now. Thank you Father for your mercy and for all of your blessings."

Ross joins me in sending our love. Hello also to Darcy and Nola. We are thinking of you and praying for you as well.

It's always good to talk to our God. We ask Lord that You hear the crys of all Your people.

I stumbled across your blog thru another website shortly after Josiah was admitted and he touched my heart in such a special way that I bookmarked your blog right away and check back often to see how he's progressing. I've rejoiced with you, cried with you...and I pray for you all often. I don't know what God's plan is for this little guy and for you all, but He must be preparing all of you for something big! Keep the faith, trust in Him and know that you are surrounded by His love. Josiah has prayer warriors that he has never met nor will ever meet pulling for him :) God bless you all.
