Joshua's Journey: Day 66

One day closer to going home. I was officially told that if all goes well, it's true that we can go home as early as Sunday. That's three days away!  As I looked back on old photos from the beginning, I can't help but tear up a bit. God has brought this kid a long way in 67 days! I saw the picture of Derek's ring around Joshua's oh so skinny arm and am reminded that God is in control. So many things are out of our hands, and we have to trust God with them.

We have a few things still we need to do before he comes home. We were able to get Maddy's room painted thanks to Brenda and have some absolutely amazing decorations, thanks to Katharine. I really can't thank ya'll enough. She has fallen asleep in there the past two nights. I think she is going to love it!

Specifics to pray for:

Joshua is doing his car seat test tonight. Please pray that he passes.

 Now, he just needs to behave, eat well and gain weight.

Pray for rest for us.

That Maddy will be excited about her little brother, but not too excited:) This will be the first time she gets to meet him.

That we can be a light to those around us that are going through what we did.


For wisdom and blessings for the NICU staff. I don't think I can ever put into words how much we have appreciated all of them. They have become like family these past two months.
