Happy February

Josiah had a much better night last night.  He didn't have a long coughing spell and his sat monitor didn't keep ringing off.  I fell asleep on the chair beside him as I put the dishwasher on late and I wouldn't have been able to hear him from my bed.  When I woke up it was 5:30 and almost time to heat his milk.  Thank You Lord for a good night!  I think I will be in my own bed tonight.  

We had a good day with our new nurse.  Josiah was quite sleepy but he enjoyed time on his mat and in his chair and in Grandma F.'s arms.  All the grandparents were here at different times today so that I would be able to spend time with our new nurse as needed. 

The physiotherapist phoned me today and gave me some suggestions.  I thought crackles were worse than wheezing but it's actually the other way around so Josiah's crackles are a good sign that things are less tight in his lungs.  We're doing some clapping on his chest to help with his secretions.  

A friend from church came over with some delicious chili and she also brought some oil of oregano to help with my cold!  I have heard great things about oil of oregano so I'm excited that I will soon be feeling like a new woman! 

Another friend came over for a visit this afternoon.  It was great to catch up with her.  I thank God for wonderful friends. 

Josiah's skin beneath his face tapes was very red so we have changed the tape and moved it to the other side of his face.  We'll keep alternating sides and hopefully that will allow the skin to heal.

It's time to say goodnight.  Thank you for your support and prayers!  God is good.  Happy February.  

Blessings,

Elizabeth

2 Corinthians 4:18
So we don't look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen.  For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever.
