This morning Isaac woke up thinking about the farm. He was more than happy to tell his sleepy mommy about the animals he'd seen and the sounds they make.
I called the night nurse before shift change this morning. She said that during a third big suction Josiah's sats had dropped to the 60s and did not recover so they put him on Bi-PAP. He then slept all night and was still on Bi-PAP when I left him tonight. He was allowed to just rest today. He hasn't needed any extra sedation and he has tolerated the weaning of his drugs.
Graham, Isaac and I walked to church this morning. Now that Graham is only here on the weekends, we don't have in and out privileges in the parking lot so we're trying not to drive more than necessary. There is a nice playground between the church location and RMH so Isaac was able to practice his climbing skills before lunch.
Graham held Josiah this afternoon while I napped with Isaac. Then we met at Swiss Chalet with Graham's parents and afterward Graham's mom was able to hold Josiah.
It's time to pump and then go to sleep. It's great to know that we're in your hearts and prayers - thank you!
Blessings,
Elizabeth
Dear Elizabeth and Graham,
ReplyDeleteI pray in the name of Jesus that the secretions from Josiah’s lungs will be easily removed and are lessening until soon Josiah’s lungs are healthy and are clear of all the secretions. As Josiah is strengthened, his ability to breathe deeply is amazing. Josiah’s heart and lungs are working beautifully in harmony. Josiah feels comfortable, and continues easily accepting his medications being reduced. O give thanks unto the Lord for He is good: for His mercy endureth for ever. Psalm 107 v1.
It was good Isaac had a varied and eventful weekend.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, and faith. Galatians 5 v 22.
love and prayers from your auntie Julia.
Dear Graham and Elizabeth,
ReplyDeleteThinking of you all this morning and praying for every detail that concerns you!
So interesting to me I felt today to send you Isaiah 26:3,4,5 and in rereading your blog that is the verse you posted a few days ago. "You will keep in PERFECT peace all who trust in you. whose thoughts are fixed on you. Trust in the Lord always for the Lord God is your eternal rock." May you know His perfect peace today. Hugs! Love, M and M
Dear Graham and Elizabeth: Always praying and am praying throughout the day on Monday. What a gift from God to have these family times (He knows what Isaac needs!)Never forget that God knows every detail of Josiah's care and has gone before you...
