Garrison Family Update

Oh where to start.....
Joshua is doing ok. He starts the Rituximab today. This is the second of 4 steps to bring his immunity levels down. They did a 20% Morphine wien yesterday so he is having some withdrawls today. The nurse, Joy, is on it and hopefully they wont be so aggressive next time! Other than that all seems well. Since I came to Missoula he has had a tub bath and been doing some physical therapy. He has been spending time with Grandpa and when Grandpa needs a break he goes out and flirts with the nurses at the nurses station! What a kid. :)
Betty is stable. It sounds like she had a busy Monday...which is the norm for hospitals. I have been sick the last couple days so I will not be going up to see her for a day or two.
We will be staying in Missoula until next weekend at least. We want to make sure that Betty is ok before we go. That means we will be here for Thanksgiving. I am happy to be able to spend the holiday with my kids. I am sad that Joshua can't be with us but I am really looking forward to next year when we can ALL be home together.
Trevor has been having some issues lately. Please keep him in your prayers. He can't understand why he can't be with at least one of his parents. He has been pretty weepy. In the the middle of one of these weep sessions he said "it is all God's fault for giving Joshua only 1/2 a heart!" GASP!!! That is a really tough one to explain .....so if anyone has any suggestions I would be MORE than happy to hear them. Maybe someone knows of a good christian book that might help!
The girls are good. Shyla is looking for work. She has been in a pretty good mood lately. That is nice. She is a little sore after taking a serious digger in the kitchen the other night. But....as James said....what were you doing standing on the furniture anyways?? Let alone a 2 legged chair! :)
I hope that you all are doing well.
Blessings,
Leah
