Joshua's Journey: Stopping the aspirations

Today was a great day. Joshua started a test at 9 this morning to see if him refluxing could be causing his aspirations or if it's him swallowing. They put a tube through his nose and it tests the acidity in his esophagus above his stomach. That way they can tell some stuff about his reflux. Tomorrow, they will repeat the swallow study he did two weeks ago. I'm praying that it will come back where they see no aspiration and he can go back to having breast milk. I would love for y'all to join me in that.
Today was the first day since being at Texas Children's that Derek had to work a full day. Josh and I had some visitors. Much fun!! Two of them will be going off to college next year and I can't tell you the joy I had talking to them! It's easy to find the negative in things, especially when you are stuck in the hospital and want nothing more than to go home, but God brought those girls to help remind me we have much to be thankful for. I'm so thankful that they are leaving our high school ministry with a genuine love for The Lord. I know that when they to have trials, they will be able to lean on Him!

Specifics to pray for:

Wisdom for doctors and staff

They will get the results back from the reflux test and all will be good.

He will not have any aspiration when doing the swallow test. So we can go back to breast milk!

Peace, patience and rest while in the hospital.

Healing from having more aspirations so that we don't frequent the ER.

That God will provide financially for the different bills we will have. We know He have it all under control.

Thanks for the prayers!!!
