Monday Morning

Josh had a hard day Saturday. He was tired, because they gave him benadryl before they gave him his blood transfusion and then they had to increase the dose of one of his antibiotics (vancomyosin) which he has side effects to.

His fever spiked again in the evening, but came back down through the night. Today, Sunday, they are giving him the "Vanc" 3 times a day. We are praying that his fever will stay down so that we can be released soon.

I was able to get away from the hospital for a few hours Sunday morning and get to church. It was really nice to sit in Sunday School with our friends and enjoy the time together worshipping God. After church Ilene and Sarah sat with Josh and let me go and take a much needed nap.

The rest of the day Sunday was pretty good, but later in the evening, his temp started going up again and he got discouraged because he really wants to get out of the hospital. He slept well, and his fever came down over night. We are praying that he has a good day and can still get out tomorrow.

God continues to show us His faithfulness. It is so easy to get discouraged when things don't go the way we hoped, but each time we stop and look to see what He is doing, we see a bigger and different picture that results in His will being done. And when His will is done, we have learned to look forward to seeing the result and knowing that it will all have been worth it.

Thanks for your prayers. We hope that Josh gets to go home tomorrow, but if not we know that God has a plan.
