Monday Morning

Josh had a pretty good night (and mom and dad got a few hours of sleep). Most of his vitals have remained steady or improved and they have been able to reduce the amount of epinephrine that they are giving him for his blood pressure. They will continue to try and ween him off of the epi.

They are also going to start weening him off of the fentanyl to make him a little more alert. They are taking another exray so he may get a little agitated.

Keep him in prayer. We will keep you updated.

  4. I've hesitated to "comment" before...but came across a verse today that, quite frankly, y'all have been a perfect example of these days--"Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see." Hebrews 11:1 NIV Thank you for being a blessing...may your whole family be blessed abundantly, beyond measure, in return...{{{{{HUGGS}}}}}

  6. Ilene,

    I always think of you with such fondness for how kind you were to Emilee. I have been praying for Josh and your family. Emilee and I prayed together the other morning. I tell you this so you will know there are so many people lifting him up in prayer. I hope for more good news.
