This is the majority of our days! I have honestly grown to love them. It's hard to get up in the mornings but once I get over that hump it's pretty great. Sometimes blogging is the last thing on the list. Sorry! Obviously our main focus is Josiah and our precious girls. I can't thank God enough that we have been able to keep that our focus. Without my parents constant help (notice in our daily schedule there is no grocery shopping, cleaning, laundry, cooking, my parents do it all, praise God), Crossbridge's support with housing, and Ridgeview's flexibility with Milo we would not be sane and it would be our girls and Josiah who would suffer most. Praise God for his timing and ability to pull all this together for us.
By the way, Josiah is doing fine. We had to slow down on the weaning from the ventilator. He got tired out from working too hard and slept for 4 days straight! He's better now a bit more awake and alert. Slowly making progress! Thank you all so much for your continued prayers. Hoping and praying we will be home sometime between Thanksgiving and Christmas.
