+236 NO Stars!!

Hello again,

Just wanted to tell you that last Friday I had my monthly check up and I had NO STARS!! That is really good (in case you were wondering :), no stars means nothing is being highlighted as out of the ordinary. So my system is getting back to normal and the Doctors are so very happy (as is everyone else :). Also, I had my last breathing treatment medicine on Friday, so I am officially off ALL medicine! Praise the Lord! (Actual numbers that don't mean very much to most is... my WBC5.9, RBC 4.5, HgB 12.8, Plt count 164 and Neut 41.1)

I do have my tubes replaced on Thursday, so please pray all goes well with that and then I will be all set. Only have to go to clinic to get blood taken once a month till February when we go get my 1 year evaluation in Minnesota. Mommy is also still trying to find a good speech therapist ( so if anyone knows of one in the northern middle TN area let me know) so I can use big words like my bubby. But who needs words anyway, I can get my point across really well. :)

Wanted to wish my big sister a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Last Sunday it had been 9 years that God has blessed us with her and she got a pretty blue bike that I can't wait till I can ride. I love her so much. I will have many more birthday wishes to mention in October so get ready :).

Thanks for the prayers,
Josiah

P.s. Please always keep my triplet friend Torie in your prayers, she is still in the hospital since we went back for our check ups in Aug. ( unfortunately with all stars on her blood work, and in need of much encouragement and prayers). We love you Torie! Please check out her blog for the latest updates http://www.toriebrady.blogspot.com/ Thank you!

+210 It's been a long time

Hello everyone,

Sorry it has been so long since I last kept up with ya'll. We have been a little under the weather lately. When Mommy, Daddy and I got home from our trip to Minnesota, James had a fever and was very tired. He continued for days like this ... taking 2-3 naps a day and skipping dessert because he wanted to go to bed. For those of you who don't know my bubby, he is not like that so mommy knew something was wrong. He went to the Dr. and he said it was allergies. ? I think we have ruled it more of a virus/something, because since then everyone has come down with it,Even me... but I haven't had to go to the hospital for it yet so I think my immune system is getting better. Last year if I got a sniffle I was on antibiotics or in the hospital. Praise the Lord!!

Besides being sick we have been busy in our own little world with school, building a house,death of a dear Great Aunt and , well.. just life.

My 6m. labs came back great!! I am still 100% engrafted and all my numbers look great. I did go see the ENT Dr. and my hearing has improved but they still want to put a set of new tubes in for the winter. I get them in the end of September. Then I don't have another appointment to see a Dr. for a month!! WOO HOO! These longer appointment times are great. I just hope I can continue to kick this cold so that I don't have to go back early.

Continue to pray for by bestest triplet Torie! Torie and her grandma's are still at the Ronald McDonald house, they were suppose to leave only days after we did... Please check her blog to see a sweet video of her at a Luau, plus other details and keep our dear friends in your prayers!! We miss them and know that it has been a long haul for this dear family.. but God has a plan for them!!

Hope everyone is doing well and I will try not to let it be to long till I say Hi next time. Don't forget to leave comments, I love hearing from you.

Lots of love to all,

Josiah
