Brooke had used the term 'looks like he came around the corner' last week.
He has since come around the block....again.
He isn't having too swell of a day. His heart rate is hanging about 160 up from the 120's and 130's we saw all day yesterday. Pressures are up...temp is creeping up. He is 37.8 right now, but his norms are more like high 35's low 36's. They are taking out the right chest tube that was put in during transplant. His wounds all over his stomach are HORRIBLE! Poor baby. Lactate is up to 4.9 from 1.7. They are going to pull another gas in a while and see if it is better.
Last night his potassium got a little low and he had some irregular heart rhythms. Those corrected as soon as we boosted his potassium. They are going to see if he can handle being off the Vec today. Dr Law said he thinks he looks bad compared to yesterday. I would agree that he does look more swollen and redder. He did pee like crazy for a while last night. We were feeling very optimistic.....
I think that is it in a nutshell...Please continue to pray that he will get better soon. I miss him.

You are always in my thoughts and prayers, no need to ask. He will be better in no time, just another small bump in the road. You will soon be chasing him around as it appears he has lots of girlfriends so once he's up and about he'll be craving for their attention. Love and miss you guys tons!
Love,
Darla & Mike

Leah, I just heard that Joshua has been put on the prayer bulletin at our church. I just want you to know there are some real prayer warriors in our church praying for him and you.
God Bless You,
