Tuesday Afternoon


Jeremiah 29:11 NIV "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. "

Although we never know what the future holds, we know that He has a plan for each of us.

Joshua is doing super today! They changed his antibiotics to a different one that has been very effective against H-Flu. They weaned his Nitric down to 10% and his oxygen is only at 45%. His sats remain in the mid 70's. Dr Jefferies wants to start weaning his sedation, slowly, and see how he handles it. So far he has been able to wake up and look around without getting too upset. We visited for about an hour and then he drifted back off to sleep holding his "so soft" (Blanket).

He looks so good today. Better than he has in the last couple weeks! They stopped his chest pt because both of his lungs are clear today. He has no puffiness in his eyes and I couldn't be more grateful!!

My dad's blood labs came back yesterday PRAISE THE LORD they look good and cancer free!! He still has a ct scan this week so please continue to pray that it is clear also.

Sometimes I just have to stand back and look at life's circumstances and remember that even though we have had some bumps (mountains, and deep ditches) in our path we still have a VERY blessed life. For all of this I am grateful.

Much love,
Leah and Joshua
