It was great to be back at The Church of the Resurrection this morning and to see some familiar faces. We were able to keep Isaac awake both to and from church and he happily played in the nursery which meant that we were able to attend the service. A group of women prayed for us before we left. We certainly felt cared for.
Our day nurse the last couple of days has been a wonderful nurse from Ireland. It's so nice to hear her thick accent and be reminded of all our relatives in Northern Ireland and England. It's been almost a year since we were in Northern Ireland for a holiday. We think of our extended family often and we so appreciate the prayers being prayed across the ocean.
Grandma and Grandpa came and picked up Isaac this afternoon. He loves being with them so it makes for happy goodbyes.
Our nurse found a bed sore on Josiah's head today. It's not an open sore so we're praying that it doesn't get worse. They were able to get a lot of fluid out of Josiah's chest today. This is fluid that is outside of the lungs and is due to the lymph system being nicked during the first surgery. He was put on an extra two doses of a diuretic today to try to get as much fluid out as possible before he is loaded up with fluid tomorrow.
It looks like Josiah is slated to go into surgery around 1:00 PM tomorrow. We plan to post an update after we leave him with the surgical team.
Thank you so much for your continued prayers. The surgeon will be meeting with others to discuss Josiah around 7:30 AM. We're praying that God will give them wisdom as to the procedure that Josiah needs.
Blessings,
Elizabeth and Graham
