Thursday Morning - A Josiah Update

Today's Thursday right? I can't tell any more ... :)

Josiah a couple of days ago was moved into the main room and he's totally fine with it. It's too bad that we didn't get our old spot back (that was prime!) but we can't be selfish. Last night Josiah had a major spell (30 minutes long) and a short one some time later, so he was sedated to help him sleep but he's been awake for an hour already this morning. Josiah is fine and chipper (and he usually is after a major spell) but it was pretty traumatic because Marie is drawing up a lot of blood with his suctions. I think part of the problem was yesterday was an odd day for him: he fell asleep at 7 PM and didn't wake up, so his bio-clock was probably all messed up in the middle of the night.

Thanks to our visitors: Trina U., Leanne K., and my parents.

For the last two weeks it feels like I've been sleepwalking. No amount of sleep or coffee is enough for me right now. This week and next I am very swamped with Xtreme at my church (a week-long program for jr high students). Lots of prep, lots of kids, lots of work, and lots of stress so I'm not going to see much of Marie and Josiah over the next 12 days. Your prayers would be appreciated.

Grace & Peace.
- Andrew, Marie, & Josiah

Andrew you will definatley be prayed for extra in these next two weeks!!! We will also continue praying for Marie and Josiah, I can't imagine how draining living in a hospital for so long would be. May God grant you peace and extra amounts of energy only even imaginable because it comes from Him!

Hey guys:

I'll be sending up extra prayers this week for you all. Lord plase give andrew all that he stands in need of for this very busy time as he balances his work and his family. Keep him awake and strong and thank you for it. Be with Marie as she makes decisions and let her feel peace and rest knowing her choices are good and okay. Be with Josiah and let him grow strong and well.

Love Sue

I will be praying for your energy Andrew and Marie's as well. I hope you two are taking your vitamin B's and St. John's Wart (or is it Wort) vitamin...They will help a bit I think, I mean they help me. I will pray that Josiah stays strong and focused.

Check this out sometime...I found it to be VERY encouraging!

Love you guys~
