Update #2

Josiah update as of 3:45pm....

The Lord is hearing our prayers! Josiah is out of surgery and working on waking up. The surgery only took 5 1/2 hours unlike even the new expected time of 7 hours. The Doctor we had was very patient and professional and has been a blessing in our lives. They were not able to fix the hip sockets but the Hip bones and ankle cuts and rotates were a success. He does have a lot of metal in him right now but the Lord works in mysterious ways sometimes. A huge praise is that he only has two ankle casts on and really no limitations besides he can't walk on them. The Lord is good!! He also got to pick the color so for all our James fans out there, we knew Josiah would pick green for his hero brother :). Right now Josiah is awake enough to drink lots out of his sippy cup by himself (something they need him to do..) and holding daddy's hand (which he loves to do). They do have him on a catheter to monitor his output of liquid. That needs to resolve as well, but as much as he is drinking I think the Lord has already answered that one. :)

Prayer request ... he is in a holding room right now with lots of "emergency" type patients (i.e. germs), they don't expect him to have a room for at least 3 more hours and don't know where that will be. The doctor encourages that he be on floor 8 in a clean and sterile room. Also, for him to take deep breaths and maybe even cough a little.

Fluid is already settling in his chest

and that needs to go. One of the main concerns after this surgery is pneumonia setting in. His swelling in his face and throat to go down as well to help with his oxygen levels. ... and of course the pain. Right now they are keeping him on high doses of medicine but they can't do that for long. He seems to be more awake and at himself right now and resting peacefully. Please pray that continues.

My heart is overwhelmed at all the love and prayers bestowed on our family. The Lord is so good and I know we could never of made it through this day without Him working in our lives through all of you. Words can not express how much we have been blessed. Thank you!
