Joshua's Journey: Day 6

We went to see Joshua today after the the service. It's a great day to be celebrated! Christ has risen, and because of that we have the opportunity to be alive as well!! That's my desire, to be alive in Christ. For people to look at me and not see Stephanie, but for them to see Christ in me. That's my prayer for Joshua now and as he gets older. What a testimony he will have and each of you will be a part of that testimony. Prayers sent up from all over the world for him! I am going to hobby lobby tonmorrow to get a frame for people to sign when they come up to see him, so that we will not forget the work God did in him and in us as a family.  We are going to be up at the hospital on Thursdays and Saturdays from 4:30-6 for anyone that wants to come visit or pray over Mr. Joshua.

There wasn't much change with him today, which I guess is good. They heard a heart murmur, which isn't super uncommon, but it's still one of those bumps in the road you'd rather be able to dodge. He seems to be eating, and sleeping well. I was able to hold him for an hour again today. It's the highlight of my day!
 

Specifics to prayer for:

They say the intestines have a hard time developing and digesting at this age. Pray that his develop well and that he doesn't get an infection.

His ultrasound is tomorrow morning. Pray that everything goes well and that there is no bleeding in the brain. Also that everything in his brain is good and it continues to develop well.

Pray that his heart murmur goes away

They may put in a picc line tonight. It's basically a 30 day IV.  Pray that it goes well, there is no infection with it, and they don't have to keep poking him.

Pray for Derek as he's going back to work tomorrow. Let God be his strength as he leads this family!

That I won't become weary and that God will be glorified and we will be a light for Him.
