My precious Sister in law Loretta is here - she flew up and got here almost as close as we did. We are at the Children's Hospital in Seattle Washington. Where oh where to start. I am heading back to Josh's room with my dinner but wanted to update you all.
Well things began cooking and we were in an ambulance on our way to Seattle. We had the best guys from Life Flight in Bend. Rick and Jim you have blessed our family so much thank you for your part in Josh's testimony. They turned the lights on for us at Bend's airport so we could go in style.
We did not ride in a helicopter just a regular plane - but both Josh and I relaxed and slept some - that was well needed. Then another ambulance ride to the hospital.
This is a huge hospital - we were in ER for over 2 hours. Josh is cranky because he is so hungry and we are tired of not knowing what is happening. First surgery then not surgery - we have not seen the Ped Neurosurgeon we flew so far to see. I am very tired and frustrated and not a lot of good to say. St Charles is the best - thank you to our nurses Brittany and Linda for making life so good.
Grandma and Grandpa Henry are on their way and should be here soon. Daddy, Sarah and Grandma Hunt will be here in several more hours. Sarah is so confused and this is so hard for her. This is after our dear friends Lee Ann and Jeanette drove Bruce and Sarah to my moms and heading back to home now - are they the best - plus they packed our clothes! I miss them so much.
What is next - looks like MRI's again - I wish they would do it tonight so we could get on with it. No surgeon visit - I know it is the holiday but he accepted us. I am tired and guess I need to vent.
We have been so blessed by so many people and such a story. Josh will post with me tomorrow - he is wiped out and tired of getting no where. We are hoping to get a laptop in our room so we can answer mail and post more frequently.
I will post an address to send cards tomorrow. Heading back to eat.
Hey Josh's basketball team - have I told you how much you rock. These awesome guys are shaving their heads for Josh! Woohoo!
More later! God Bless and thank you for your prayers it is the only way I am making it!

Hi, Josh
So sorry things got delayed, surgery-wise. Keep trusting the Lord to work it all out. Our time schedule isn't always the way it works out.
We are glad we can be kept up on what to pray for.
Hi, Lori and Bruce,
We are glad more of the family made it up that way. Don't forget to use the video camera! Have you got a hold of Charles and Dorothy yet? We are praying for both of you.
Hi, Sarah!
You are important to us as well! We will miss you this Sunday, your smile and giggles!

The Peters and Suttons are with you every step of the way with hopes, prayers, and tons of hugs.
