This man. I love him so much and am super crazy proud to call him my husband! Nathan is an amazing man of God and has been an amazing source of support for me. I love his perspective of this day, the Sunday before Josiah’s surgery. He processed and wrote these thoughts that very evening. […]
Overwhelmed
This is the second of Nathan’s posts following Josiah’s diagnosis. He wrote this two days after the MRI. We were certainly overwhelmed. But yet, there was peace. Peace that transcends all understanding. Overwhelmed September 29, 2012 Do you have a list…a list of questions you want to ask God when you get to heaven? I […]
God’s Glory
This is a brief summary of where we were at with Josiah three years ago, still in the hospital: Praising God the final biopsy results are benign!! Also thankful Josiah was able to start taking bottles again and ate some applesauce, so the feeding tube is out! Still praying for the infection to clear, fever […]
This is now
The last several days of posts have been pretty informational, intense, and tear forming. I’m ready to lighten it up a bit, and go from “then” to “NOW.” This is Josiah now. He loves placing things on his head and walking around. Our other kids are always amazed that he can walk around without […]
Perfect

We’re currently traveling home from visiting Nathan’s family in North Carolina, so I wasn’t able to get anything new written; but I didn’t want to skip a day of posts in this 31 day challenge. Tomorrow will be something brand new though! […]
July 2015 Medical Update
Tonight as we sat in the living room before bed, Nathan started giving us some riddles to solve. The kids absolutely loved it! I was impressed with how many they figured out on their own. Ruth Ann had a grand old time shouting out random answers and Josiah enjoyed building with his magnet blocks and […]
Botox Progress # 2
It has been four months since Josiah’s Botox shots in his arm and hand. We noticed a big difference soon after, as he started wearing his arm/hand splints and brace, and was tolerating therapy a lot better. In that four months Josiah has made a ton of progress! He consistently uses his right hand to […]
Shoe Shopping
For anyone who knows me well, I am not a fan of shoe shopping. Well, the experience has worsened! On May 19th, we picked up Josiah’s new AFO brace. (AFO = ankle-foot-orthotic) You’ve just learned a new medical term – welcome to my world! This is Josiah’s third brace, but the first two were fairly small and […]
