Update on Josh: Josh seems to have a day or two that looks like he is on the mend and then he gets hit with more. I didn't go see him tonight, but Lisa did. She said he is not doing well. I could tell he wasn't feeling too great Tuesday night when I was up. A mom just knows when her kids aren't feeling well by their eyes and faces. Josh had a different color (olive hue) to his face and dark circles around his eyes. He had that look Tuesday night. Lisa said he looked even worse tonight. He has diarrhea and has been vomiting.

Two things are going on in his body (hopefully no more than these two). When they did the culture of the tissue in his pressure sore, they found that he had a bacteria in it. They are treating that with the proper antibiotics. Now, it looks like he has C-Diff. This is highly contagious and the main symptom is diarrhea. If you go to visit Josh, wash with soap and water when entering and when leaving. Anyway, Josh probably got it from taking so many antibiotics that his body's immune system is weak. They can treat it with certain antibiotics. C-Diff can lead to more serious complications, so please keep Josh in your prayers. If it is not one thing, it is another. I can't wait for all of this to be behind us and Josh gets to move on with his life with Lisa. I am a little worried, but as I learned in church last Sunday morning....I need to give it to God. God is in control.
