Update on Josh: I stopped by Josh's room tonight after work for a little bit. He is still not feeling well at all. His skin color still doesn't look normal either. The nurse called it "ash". Lisa asked for lab results and things are all in the normal range. They will keep a close eye on everything. I actually called the hospital this morning before going to work to see how Josh was doing. Josh hadn't been answering his cell phone, so I just wanted to see what the nurses thought of Josh's condition. They didn't seem worried. So I went to work and waited til afterwards to go see him. He isn't eating any food since he feels so nauseous. They are keeping track of how much water he is drinking as well, to make sure he doesn't get dehydrated. I am hoping they can figure out what is making him so nauseous and get that corrected soon. He can't afford to lose any more weight.
Lisa made a interesting observation. Quite a few rooms on Josh's floor of the hospital have that special sign outside their room that indicates a contagious condition and for people to wash their hands before and after entering the room. We are wondering if Josh got the C-Diff from the other patients on his floor. The nurses are supposed to either wear gloves or do the hand washing regimen every time they come in and leave the room. Lisa noticed that they don't always wash their hands when entering, but are pretty faithful in washing on their way out of Josh's room. I read that C-Diff is prevalent in nursing homes and extended stay hospitals. Just an observation!
Keep praying!

About Me

- 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.
