A little bit of Si

*Update on bottom..*

Good morning to all,

Just another note from mom but we are seeing a little bit of Si coming out all the time! The Lord is good. We have had a long weekend trying to adjust to our new life/schedule. When we were discharged from the hospital (on Saturday) Josiah was given a medicine for pain every 4 hours. We didn't notice till we got home that the Pharmacy changed it to every 6 hours. When I called they said that the Dr. put every 6 hours and we would have to talk to our DR. Being the weekend I didn't feel comfortable giving him it every 4hours till I knew if he might have changed the prescription.

Yet by the 4th hour Josiah seemed in a lot of

pain. We did try to alternate Ibuprofen to help but if still seemed to not cut it. Between that and him trying to have a bowel movement, he seemed to be crying in pain most of the time. Finally, I got ahold of the surgeons nurse Yesterday afternoon and she said it is to be every 4 hours and that is what the Prescription said. She was going to call the pharmacy ( and I had an inclination to do the same but refrained :). Now that he is on the right dose of medicine we seem to have started to control the pain a little more. He only woke up twice for medicine last night and seemed to be more like Si this morning. Actually, it seems to be a pretty calm morning,

considering! We have been so blessed to have so much prayer and people encouraging us. We had some special Aunts and Uncles (Aunt Kathy and Aunt Karen & Uncle Lloyd and Uncle Kenny) deliver us a delicious feast. Look at the picture of James with his plate full! Yumm, Yumm! Plus there was corn and Chocolate Chip cookies for desert.

We do need to be praying for new bone growth. They will x-ray him in 4 weeks (woo hoo 1 week down) and see if there is new bone growth. If so they will leave the casts off and just put braces on and start therapy. If no new bone growth then the casts go back on for 2-4 more weeks.

New news... Please pray!! The Dr. just called and we have to go to Nashville ASAP. Josiah has no sensation in his toes and they are very pale. It didn't alarm us since this has been the case since we left the hospital but yesterday we asked what we should watch for. Evidently this didn't get to the Doctor till today and they need to see him. Please pray that this is all fine and for peace and pain management for Si during the transport. Thank you again for your prayers!

Blessings on your day!

*UPDATE*Thank you all for your prayers. I know the Lord heard them. Josiah did seem to not be in as much pain considering the 1 1/2 hour trip to Nashville. The Dr. had to split both his casts. We think that his legs were just to swollen and possibly causing some problems. Josiah was crying in pain once we were there and while the man was cutting the cast. When they were almost done Josiah jumped ( I could of swarn they cut his leg) then he said "there." and stopped crying. It was like something released and helped his pain. Praise the Lord. They did do a x-ray to make sure everything was good. Before we left the color and warmth returned and he even wiggled his toes (which he couldn't do before). I can't tell you how amazing this is and how wonderful God is to hear all our prayers and bless us yet again. Thank you again for the encouragement of lifting our Josiah up in Prayer.
