Amarillo By Morning

Josh is not a Country Western fan so he would object to the title.

The sun is just peaking over the horizon, and we have had a busy morning already. Josh had a hard night, his fever is still spiking and he throws up much of his tylenol. He did get more platelets and blood during the night and they have him on numerous IV medications. He has a breathing machine that pushes oxygen into his nose and wires hooked up to his finger, leg (blood pressure cuff) and chest to monitor all of his vitals.

He seems to be feeling about the same, although tired.

His exray last night showed fluid on his lungs. They are restricting his drinking and eating (so of course he is thirsty and hungry) but hydrating him through his IV. He does not complain of much, but I know he hurts and more than anything is tires of not being at home.

Pray that they are able to knock out the infections. His blood counts are still low so his body can't fight off much. Also pray that his stomach will settle down and he will stop throwing up.

We are hoping for a better day. We have a faithful God. Thanks for your prayers.
