Happy Un-Birthday Josiah!

Boy has this been an interesting day. I got to have my whole family up here to celebrate me getting new blood! The nurses and staff brought James and I presents and balloons, I love it! Nurse Kate gave me my IV of Marrow and had to wear a mask and special clothes. She stayed by my bed for over an hour just watching me and taking my blood pressure. I ended up having to have blood pressure medicine today but the Dr. said that is normal. My blood pressure got up to 208 over 110, Yikes! But God is in control and gave the nurse wisdom to help me. James got to come in and see me earlier but then had to go to his room and rest. His voice is pretty hoarse and he said his back was hurting pretty bad. After his nap ( and some Tylenol) he felt better. Sara, Hannah and Leah all came in too and we had fun. It took a long time to get everything done and get me where I was doing well but we wanted to tell you thank you for your prayers. Right now I am a very pink color all over. So far that is the only thing that hasn't gotten better. It doesn't hurt and I am not hot, I am just turning like Elmo. :)
I want to thank my big brother for giving me his blood to save my life, I love him. He is my hero! We also thank the Lord for His mercy is everlasting! Pray that my night is good and that everyone can get some sleep. Love to all and we will talk to ya tomorrow.

P.s. we haven't had an update from Torie's grandma, but the nurse said she thought Torie was doing well. Please keep her in your prayers as well. Thank you all for your notes on our walls, it's always fun to read them!
