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.

Update 6-11-12

Josh update: I think we are starting to move in the right direction now. Josh hasn't been running temperatures. He is still cold all the time, but I think anyone would when you are stationary all the time. When I went up to the hospital after work tonight, the nurse said that we probably wouldn't hear anything about the wound culture or bone biopsy for about a week. He did drink some more apple Ensure nutrition drinks today with lots of ice of course. I called Josh on my way up to the hospital to see what sounded good to eat. With a little coaxing, he finally said he would eat an Arby's roast beef sandwich and a blue slushy from Meijers. He did eat the whole sandwich, which I know he forced himself to eat. That is progress. Before, he couldn't even force himself to eat anything due to the nausea. Since he was doing better, I decided to leave around 6:30ish so that Josh and Lisa Wojciechowski could have some time alone together. Hopefully Josh will be able to come home soon. Thank you everyone for your prayers. They are working!!!  His hemoglobin is still quite low, but hopefully the iron pills will do the trick.
