This mom is looking forward to the next 24 hours being over. We have had a good day and learned a lot of information.
We are praising the Lord for the wonderful team we have working on Josh. We saw the Neurological Psych today and he just got a base line for Josh so that in six months he will be tested again to see if there is any change or damage done - the test turned out to be about 2 1/2 hours.
We talked to the Nurse Practioner with the case - she took time to listen to Josh's questions. The number one questions what is the risk of dying - she shared the same as with any other surgery. The things we need to be concerned about is possible stroke, vision damage, and other sensory damage. But you know we serve a bigger God and are trusting Him.
Tomorrow we will have to leave our room - we pray we get the same room back, but may not be able too - so please send cards to just Josh and they will find him. We will be in ICU for 2 nights probably - so that will be more intense.
Josh is getting nervous - but we are just taking it hour by hour and waiting for the days to go quickly. We pray for a quick recovery - 5 days to 7 would be great. but we are just waiting.
That could be our theme song - just waiting. Well I am off for a while - I am still tired, but will sleep later I am praying. Pray for family coming in today - Aunt LeMay - mom is on her way to the airport - Aunt Loretta and Aunt Kathy - driving up from Salem - and in the snow. And dear Pastor Lighthill and Dick Fritz - big time snow - coming from La Pine.
We had another great nurse today, Jane. She has blessed us. We are missing our Fiona and Stephanie but we know they will be with us during recovery and that will be awesome.
Have a blessed night - and hug your loved ones for us!

Hey Josh,
It is interesting to read about all that is happening with you all. We continue to pray for you and your family! You will be done with this in less than 1 more day. We are anxious to hear that your surgery is completed, your vision is back to normal and the headaches are gone!
Minnesota isn't living up to its wintery reputation very well, as we don't have one bit of snow. It sounds much more wintery where you are. Maybe you can go skiing soon, eh? We played hockey on an outdoor ice arena yesterday. It isn't even cold enough for real ice - the rink has refrigeration to keep the ice hard. It was still fun.
Wish your mom, dad and Sarah well for us!
Lee, Kate, Isaac and Tenner

Hey Josh
Greetings from Gilchrist. I think today is your surgery day so heres hoping that it is done and you are back in your room surrounded by everyone important.
So others are shaving their hair in support of you - don't think I will but the thought is there. ;) What good firends you have, treasure them always.
We've had quite a bit of snow here the last two days. Now its getting cold. Seattle is a great city - can you see the Space Needle from your window?
Take care and ((HUGS)) coming your way.
BTW - Mom, Dad and Sarah - hang in there also.
