I have been getting loads of calls and text messages and FB comments asking about Josh. SO, I am going to update my bloge when I get new news on him.
Currently:
Monday they were going to take Josh off the ventilator and let him go, but the Doctors came back and said that he was keeping his Blood Pressure up on his own with no medication. His white blood count was better and the infection seemed to be improving, the fever he was running was low grade, but the ventilator was breathing 100% for him, but the Dr. wanted to give him more time so they decided to do dialysis to try and remove some fluid off of him because his kidney's have shut down...
Now, he is still keeping his BP up, he is down from 70% to 40% on the ventilator, the Dr's actually have said he is taking up to 15 breaths a minute on his own. They are still doing dialysis, which seems to be going good. His heart rate is good. His fever is back up a little bit. They are taking him back into surgery tomorrow evening to repair the Colostomy bag sutures, they are hoping that will help with the infection and get his fever down. His kidney's have improved a little bit and are working just a tad. He is looking better. The doctors feel that he is stable enough for surgery to go in and fix the bag where they think it is leaking... He is not on any sedation medication. Overall they feel like he is doing a lot better. He still has a long road, and still is critical but he is stable.
This is truly a miracle seeing that last weekend they were giving him essentially "no hope"... Monday they said the best ting for him would be to take him off the ventilator and let him go... But God has shown that he can do exceedingly abundantly above all that we can think or ask. He is literally doing a miracle in Josh's body. My faith has been lifted each day as good news comes in. Continue to pray for Josh and his family. I will add updates as I get them...
