It looks to be a fairly nice day in Seattle, and we were just blessed with tickets to the Seattle Zoo so we may be running away from the hospital for a while and enjoying it.
Josh is starting to worry about his surgery - what is happening and all that. Eventhough he knows he will be asleep for all of it - it is creeping in. The worst part he shared with me is that he is losing his hair. Figures!
Praising raining down - Pastor is coming up on Monday and we are so blessed. We are asking him to bring the laptop so Josh can actually be typing. He does get tired quickly and was with us for breakfast and wants to hang in his room. Mr. Brown he has a journal and we are now requiring him to write in it everyday! He thinks he is going to sneak this blog as his writing - but mom has been doing it, glad I am not being graded.
For some reason today is harder for me - I have been crying a lot and the financial burden is hitting me. I am blessed that insurance will prayerful cover it all - but the meals in the hospital are taking their toll - but you know the lesson I have learned this week, it is only money and not worth worrying about it.
Yesterday we had Jen (good name right Jenny) for Child Life Therapy come and hang. Josh has a doll that he was able to put the IV in and talk about what is going on. He has to decorate his doll but that will happen. Sarah is excited because she is going to hang with Jen during the surgery and get her own doll. Also on Monday Josh will hang with the music therapist and get to play the drums for a while - so Pastor your drummer boy will be here!
Today's plans - hang will lunch because the opthamologist doc is coming, then head to the zoon. Back home for dinner and an early night. Tomorrow is church and that is about it. Monday we will be sticking by the hospital and then heading to the airport to pick up Aunt LeMay. Josh has already warned our nurses that Aunt LeMay and Aunt Loretta will be here so they better be good.
We will see Dr. Ojamen today - the big dude - which is awesome! We already saw the Head Neuorsurgeon for Children's this morning. It is amazing how they become friends after being here for this short time. We are in our own world.
Not sure how much I will post - I worked on uploading pictures yesterday and it does not work - maybe with our laptop I will be able too. I am a little exhausted today!
Thank you again for your prayers and comments - they are a blessing to us! Love you all!

Hey There!
I am glad it is clearing up over there! Its natural to be nervous about surgery, but remember Jesus and his angels will be taking care of you while you are snoozing away, Mom and Dad and Sarah remember that too alright? Now I expect all of you to remind me of that some day if I ever have to have surgery alright? Don't worry we will all be praying constantly throughout the whole surgery. Josh dont worry about your hair either, because it will grow back. Remember Be Not Afraid , For I Am Always With You.

Hey Lori,
I know that God has you and your family in the palm of His hand! It's incredible, as I read the updates and pray for Josh, I can feel these waves of love and compassion. I keep being reminded of Jeremiah 29:11.
I love you, Lori!! (I know we haven't had a chance to talk in a while, but our spirits know each other REALLY well!) You and your "Bug" family are in my thoughts and I'll ask my new church family to be praying!
God bless you Josh!
Hugs and Love,
