Derek was able to stay home today and hang out with Joshua and Uncle David who flew in to see his nephew for the day. Joshua is doing really good, thanks first to God and second to all of your fervent prayers!
We have got the majority of all the tests done that need to be done until about a month, so hopefully he will have a bit of a break from all the poking and prodding. I was able to hold him for about two hours today. It's crazy how fast time flies when I'm holding him!
Here's my favorite picture yet!
Specifics to pray for:
That Joshua's picc line stays clot free and uninfected. We don't want him to have to get a new one before the 30 days!
That he remembers to breathe, and that the episodes of him forgetting become less and less.
He continues to eat well and pee well. They increased the amount of milk he's getting along with the number of times he eats each day, which may have something to do with him to quit breathing for a second or two.
He continues to gain weight. He's 2 lbs 4 oz tonight.
For his blood pressure to stay in the low normal levels. It's been a bit high at times.
That God gets the praise He deserves for all He has done and is going to do through Joshua and that He will be glorified.
For Derek's ankle to feel better ASAP!
You prayers and support are so appreciated. We love y'all!! We will be at the hospital from 4:30-6 today if anyone wants to go see him. The only issue, which I do not like since it keeps some students from seeing him, is you have to be at least 16.
