Friday Morning December 17th

Josh had a slightly rocky night. His cranial
pressure was trending up a bit. With some
adjustments to his medication and equipment
he is resting calmly today with good readings.

Based on last night, the doctors have decided
to hold off on some of the procedures
they had planned on today, which they are
just fine with. No need to rush the process.
Mike, one of our favorite nurses here, is in
charge of Josh's care for today.

Thank you to everyone who put us up
in the hotel in Malvern and stocked the fridge. It gives a
close and private place to retreat for short periods,
to shower and change clothes. Thanks to Keith,
Brad and Jim Taylor for your help and support. Thank
you to everyone who has sent prayers, cards and well wishes
to Josh for a complete recovery. Josh has everyone
from you, to Buddhist Monks to Carmelite nuns
praying for his recovery.

We are keeping the home fires burning Josh.
We love you dearly and miss you terribly.

Mike, Darling and Rose

  2. Thank you for this update on Josh. I can't help but wonder...what do the experts there think about playing his favorite music for him, or the voices of his closest friends?

    What else (besides thoughts & prayers) can we do for you guys? Please just say the word(s)!
