Hoping To Go Home Friday

Well, the doctors, our nurse and the case manager came in to tell us that they are working on getting us discharged. Initially they were trying for this evening, but the doctor wants one more blood test in the morning to verify that Josh's blood counts are still good. If everything looks good we will leave early in the morning for Dalhart.

A Home Health company came by to teach us how to give Josh his IV anti-fungals and anti-bacterial. We are also waiting to hear from the doctor to see if we can change our appointment for next Wednesday to a week later so that we can be home for more than 4 days.

Pray that Josh's numbers continue to improve and that he stays healthy and strong for the next week. We are also praying that we can stay home for a few extra days. Our hope is that we will leave early in the morning and get to Dalhart before sundown.

We are looking forward to seeing all of our friends and church family soon.

I was again reminded that God is at work here. The nurses on our floor (12th floor) have heard about Josh and his story from the nurses on the 10th floor. I was riding up on the elevator and one of the interns from the 10th floor (pediatrics) got on and told me that she had heard about the blog and had been reading it. She told me how touched she was by our journey.

God is good ... all the time.
