Just an update(more update on bottom).... Josiah went for his Echo this morning and there was a lot of fluid around his heart. So much so they said that the pressure on the outside of the heart was greater then the pressure inside the heart and was slightly collapsing it. They put us back on 5D and pushed for operating room time. By God's grace Josiah is already in surgery and we pray that all will be well. The Dr. is only going to drain the fluid and pull the line not leave it in. Then wait till he wakes up and treat him with steroids to help keep the swelling and fluid down. Time will tell. We covet your prayers and trust the Lord will bless!! We will try and update once he is out of surgery.
Love to all,
Josiah and family

P.s. Josiah is out of surgery and the Doctor said everything went really well!! They only got 100ml of fluid which is less than they expected and recovered from anesthesia really nicely. Right now he is drinking tons and eating anything we give him (good time to push the good for you foods :) He still has to have an x-ray of his lungs tonight and another Echo in the Morning, but if all goes well they said we can go out of the hospital tomorrow as long as it doesn't look like the fluid is coming back. We see God's hand on Josiah so much and we know that He has blessed this whole process. Thank you all for praying and please continue. We will have several days of steroids and many more Echo's (at best) before we go home... but we know it is all in the Lord's timing.
God bless
We are praying!

Dear Si - Your Pa-Paw came over and told us that you had to stay at the hospital. We're so glad that everything went well and we can't wait to have you back here. We know you'll do well with so many watching over you. We've surprised them before, haven't we? SSSSi! We love you! Torie and the Grandma's
ReplyDeleteHey Si, we're praying, too. No more drama, okay? Your mom and dad need a little break. Keep eating and drinking. You're doing so well!
ReplyDeleteJosiah, I know it's hard to have this setback, but we are trusting God's timing is perfect, even in this, so....we might have to wait just a little longer to see you, or maybe not...whatever happens, we are thanking God for His wonderful care for you and your family. Our family is very much looking forward to seeing all of you again real soon! We continue to pray, our God is able...
