Update

Sorry..thought John had posted...Joshua had a good day! They continued to wean him off nitric oxide...he is down from 30 to 3 as of recently and doing well with it. He continues to get rid of fluids but not as quickly. His X-ray shows improvement but pneumothorax still resolving. The doctor wants to get him off paralytic so he moves just a little to get rid of fluid and the plan tonight is to sta...rt slowly weaning to less percentage of oxygen 5 degrees at a time. Tonight our little prince has 3 nurses to himself as he is the only patient in PICU so far. Please pray that Joshua handles the oxygen weaning and cming off paralytic well, that he will not develop any secondary infections , for his heart to be strong and lungs to heal fully. I came back home today to be with the kids as my mom needed to go home...glad to be here with the other 8 but I'm missing being with my sick boy (John is there). Appreciate so much your prayers. Don't forget to wear blue tomorrow for Joshua (event being held by our second cousin)! When she told us about it, we didn't even know if he'd be alive on the 21st....now he has made a turn around and we have hope. Praise God!
