Thanks for your patience and understanding as I was off busy with Xtreme. There might be another period of quiet after this post as I will be spending most of the week with Josiah in Vancouver.
Josiah has had a incredible week :) He's doing very well, going for longer periods off his CPAP and is getting MUCH MORE animated. Josiah moves his mouth around a lot in talking motions, has been kicking his feet like crazy, and is handing out a lot more smiles. And yesterday we were able to go outside for the first time in 5 weeks!! And the neatest thing was that we were able to go outside just the three of us without any nurse support. Yay!! It was so great. It was only 15 minutes, but we could tell he enjoyed it and we are hoping to do a lot more of it in the weeks to come.
We really have no timeline to go home, but we are of the feeling that the doctors are waiting until he passes the 9 month mark to see how the malaysia in his airways responds.
Funniest thing in the world: watching Josiah try to put his soother in his mouth (kinda misses a lot but man he's persistent and puts on a great show!!) With the CPAP Josiah makes a lot of coo-ing and snoring sounds which is so cute, and he's starting to cry/whine to get his way (like his soother). Smart boy ;) He's also become very dependent on his birdie mobile, to the point he'll ignore us for long periods of time and gets really confused when they are turned off.
Marie's mom was able to visit for 3 days this past week and that was SO GOOD. Thanks also to our other visitors who dropped by: Ron, Betty-Lou, Bethany & Meagan H., Rick, Rachel & Jayden H., and Loralee & Terri H.
In God's Graces.
-Andrew, Marie & Josiah

Hey Andrew and Marie,
Thanks for the note on our blog. Sawyer is doing REALLY well. I sometimes even forget that he had surgery, the scars are getting covered by hair already. He is back to normal. What a blessing and a huge answer to prayer! Your journey this year has been incredible to watch. Your ups and downs, highs and lows, setbacks and advances, struggles and triumphs. . through it all you have stayed strong in your faith in God. You three have really been an inspiration to me. I pray for you often. Sawyer has a checkup at Childrens at the end of September and I'm going to do what I can to pop in and say hi again. Blessings to you!!
Yup it's me...a fellow neighboring blogger. Just popped in to see how you all were.
I'm glad to hear everything is going so well. And to go outside, all THREE of you!?!?!?
:) Woohoo
