We had a good Family Day today. It was great to see all the grandparents and Isaac and Graham had fun at the birthday party. Graham's parents were here helping out most of the day. Isaac was asking about going to their house so they'll take him there on Wednesday when they need to be back in Kitchener. He's a blessed little boy with three beds he calls his own at three different houses.
Isaac was making us all laugh at dinner with his imitation of something his grandpa did. In the afternoon he asked for a cookie. I said he could have one after he ate some apple. When I was out of the room he asked Grandma for a cookie and she repeated my instructions. Isaac replied, "Grandma eat Isaac's apples" so that he could get his cookie but Grandma did not comply.
Josiah woke up coughing this morning and coughed at various times during the day, but not regularly or too often. We'll have to wait and see if this is "just" another cold or something to do with his veins. It will be good to have the visiting nurse assess him tomorrow. He had three doses of Ventolin today and I used the "cup" on his chest to help move the secretions in his lungs. Turning him from side to side when he's in the crib also helps with this.
We actually just discovered that Josiah was without oxygen for over an hour tonight. I realized that I couldn't hear any sounds when I put my ear to Josiah's face. Thankfully we discovered this problem before he went all night or longer without oxygen. We switched his line to the oxygen tank and then fixed the problem with the oxygen concentrator. God is watching over Josiah.
We were blessed to be together today on Family Day. Thank you for your prayers and support!
Blessings,
Elizabeth
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
Always be joyful. Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.
I have reread your Fri blog and it is inspiring and shows God's wisdom to you in carrying on....We do(try and sometimes fail and try etc) our part in taking our burdens to Him; leave them with Him (even amidst our human anxieties); pray without ceasing,as we know best; try to establish a level of peace (and joy); and soak into our beings that He is Almighty God and knows all things and does all things perfectly in His ways and so we accept His will to be done in all of our days. We praise Him and thank Him for His grace and mercies in your lives and in the life of Josiah. He is a great and awesome god to give this life to Josiah. I wonder how many people were praying for you yesterday...and He answered our prayers....again and again. God is standing with you every minute, Graham and Elizabeth. Praying daily. Much love.
