Enjoying life before the accident. Josh was about 14-15 years old. He and his friends made their own bike jumps.

About Me

My photo
We have 5 children and 5 grandchildren with one on the way. Eric and I were married in 1984 and are still together today. We met in church and raised our kids in that same church, We are still very involved at this same church. God has been there for us through many ups and downs in our family life. We have struggled with children with ADD, hyperactivity, strong wills, addictions, and one that became paralyzed at the age of 15 due to a car-pedestrian accident...he was the pedestrian. Eric and I have had to work through relationship issues (as do most couples), job loss, and financial problems. Even though we are believers, that doesn't mean we will never have problems. We just know that God is there for us through these struggles. There has been a lot of growth through these times.

ANGEL


The song is called "Angel" by Casting Crowns.  Josh dedicated this song to Lisa at their reception.  I added pictures to go with it.  I love this song too.

Update on Josh: Another good day! Just pray that he can patiently make it through four more weeks of total bed rest. I won't go into detail, but he has an uncomfortable bodily issue going on that is out of his control and it is really bothering him. Please pray for that to either clear up or that he would learn to deal with it. Thank you so much for praying.

Update on Josh: SUPER GREAT DAY!!! Josh felt well, he ate a good amount of food, and enjoyed time with his family (mom, siblings, fiance, and dogs). Kristi and Isaiah had a sleepover at the hospital last night and are going to do the same tonight. They have their snacks, video games, ipads, etc. I am so glad they are doing this. I'm sure it makes Josh feel like he is at home. I told them not to stay up too late and they promised, but I know my kids, they will be up late AGAIN!!! But, I think they are more tired tonight and will probably get to bed sooner. I guess the nurses woke them up every couple hours to check on Josh, so not a very restful night last night. Anyway, there are a couple pictures of Josh and Buddy, and Lisa with Izzy on Facebook.  You can find it on my wall - Susan Stricker Holt.

Update on Josh: Called Josh on my lunch break today and he was not feeling well. But, by the time I got there around 6 pm, he was up to eating some food. Kristi brought Buddy and Izzy up to see Josh. They are such good dogs. They laid by Josh's bed most of the time, and greeted everyone as they entered the room. That made Josh's day!!! He misses his dogs.
