Josiah’s MRI and labs were all good today! The day went great! With lots of prayers, Josiah was calm the whole day! I overheard him praying multiple times when he’d get nervous, and I’m not sure how many times he asked his daddy to pray for him yesterday and today. Things were a little different […]
MRI Time Again!
Josiah will have his yearly MRI on Thursday. It should be a pretty quick in and out appointment. First, he’ll get an IV and blood drawn for labs and check in with the doctor. Then he’ll head down for the MRI. Since he doesn’t need to be sedated anymore, we’ll be able to leave from […]
Quarantine – Pre/Day1/Day2
Here’s what we’ve been up to the last week before & during quarantine. Trying our best to have some fun! Pre-Quarantine Seeing schools begin to shut down around our area, I told the kids that by the end of the next week everyone would probably be at home all day, ending my sentence with, “so […]
February 2020 MRI Results
Josiah did AWESOME today! I’m not even sure words can express how well today’s visit went. But I’ll do my best! Here are the prayer requests we shared yesterday – with today’s answers. For Josiah’s anxiety before and during the appointment and that it would be a good experience for him. That I would be […]
Upcoming MRI
Josiah’s MRI is tomorrow, Wednesday, February 26th. We’ll get to the hospital at 9:00. Josiah is pretty anxious, not about the MRI itself, but about having an iv. He absolutely hates anything to do with needles and our last few experiences have been less than stellar. Our plan tomorrow is to place numbing cream on […]
January 2020 Medical Update
Josiah has a great team of doctors caring for him. He’s had a few appointments this year already, and more in the coming months, so I thought now would be a great time for a quick update! Things have been relatively quiet on the medical front these days, and we are extremely grateful! That’s not […]
Care to Share
In his sermon titled “Care to Share,” Jeremy, our preacher, challenged us to share our stories because our stories are how we make Jesus known. He says – “You know, I may post the beautiful sunset seasons, but I don’t post the raging storms seasons. But you know what? That may be the very stuff […]
Celebrate!
There are so many reasons to celebrate. In fact, today alone is National Devil’s Food Cake Day, and Take Your Parents To The Playground Day. Who knew? Five years ago today, Josiah had his last chemotherapy treatment. That’s a celebration – not only that he finished that day, but we celebrate today that he has […]
Intensive Therapy Round 3
April 2019 Josiah’s intensive therapy went great! It’s an adjustment for our family for me to be gone all day, but his progress makes it worth it! This time was more difficult for Josiah because he attended school in the mornings and ending at 5:00 most days. He did some hard work! In all, Josiah […]
Quick Medical Update – Feb 2019
It has been great that there’s not a lot to update about these days! I looked and the last time I updated our blog was in November! We enjoyed Thanksgiving and Christmas with family, had several bouts of sickness running through our house, plenty of snow, and to be honest, we’re all just ready for […]
