Josiah made it home


Here is my little man just before they wheeled him off to his bronch.  He has always been able to handle his life and all that it entails with such courage, dignity, and of course, a sense of humor.  He gets that from his dad.  When they went in they were afraid of what they would find.  He has a compromised airway that has to always be managed carefully.  When they got the camera in they were pleased with what they saw.  Of course it isn’t the best airway, far from it, but it isn’t life threatening right now.  What the doctors don’t know is that he has so many people praying for him and he received a preisthood blessing.  He came home that same day and will be taking it easy a little while longer but we got good news so I’m happy.  


He has been on the vent a lot since he got home, loses color too quick, and we’ve suctioned up blood.  It could just be an infection or an irritated airway from the surgery.  John says I’m a pessimist so I am trying to think positive and not worry too much about it.  If he isn’t better tomorrow I’ll call the doctor.  For now I’m happy he is home and that he is happy.  I’ll keep everyone updated.

Meri,

I'm so glad that it was good news...Josiah is such a sweet young man. When we saw him at the Halloween party, Clay said, "I miss seeing his bright face every week!"
