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 on Josh - He had a few days this past week where he was nauseous, vomiting, and had diarrhea. Yesterday and today he felt a little better and could finally eat something. Josh sleeps a lot too. I guess when you have to stay in bed 24/7, what else is there to do. I know sleep helps the healing process, so that is good. I saw a few weights by his bed. I didn't ask about them, but I am sure he is doing some OT strengthening his upper body. Please keep praying that he is able to beat the bacteria in his body and the C-Diff. I got some good advice from a friend at church who had experienced C-Diff. We have to make sure they are taking an aggressive response to the C-Diff so it doesn't progress into something worse. Thank you for praying!
