Continue to pray

Dearest friends,
Please continue to pray for our dear Josiah. Yesterday after the surgery the Dr. gave him a "bolus" shot in his spine. That was to help with pain through the evening but seemed to wear off sooner than later. We were kept in a holding area till 7:00pm and then they wheeled Josiah toward a room. At this point Josiah must of remembered how they wheeled him away before surgery and he went crazy. Screaming and trying his best to get out of that bed. We were transferred to a very nice room on level 7 (they weren't sure if had been cleaned or not... I know God is in control :) where both Jim and I could be with Josiah all night. Unfortunately after this incident Josiah has been in increasing pain and crying ever since. He will have 5-10min at a time that he calms down sometimes falls asleep just to have muscle spasms shake his whole body ( on top of the other pain he is having). During the surgery they had to cut through muscle causing severe muscle spasm (like charlie horses) as they heal. They have given him strong medicine to try to help with this but doesn't seem to be helping. Jim and I, but most importantly Josiah has hardly slept even an hour all night. I know the Lord can take this pain from him and bring peace. Please join in with our prayers and continue to lift our little Josiah before the Lord. Thank you
