We are celebrating sitting at our table on our couch with our little boy today. Joshua woke up this morning and his white cell count had more than doubled over night. So they sent us home! We're glad to be here and hope it will be for a few weeks, though we know we'll be back in the hospital soon.
Speaking of the hospital, it's an incredibly interesting place. Things, like privacy, that you previously valued quickly don't seem that important to you. For example, I had a conversation with a nurse in my underwear this week. (She sort of came in whenever she wanted.) The other intesting thing is that the 6th floor is a real community in and of itself. We have lots of new friends with sick kids. There does not seem anything more effective in removing boundaries than a hospital waiting area. There's not rich or poor people, or black or white people. In that respect, the 6th floor is pretty unique, and maybe even a little prophetic. So... that's one good thing about being there.
The bed's not so good, though.

We've been praying for you guys in school. All the boys miss Joshua in class, and we will continue to pray until he can join us again!

God is good!
ony you would admit to the world that you had a conversation with a nurse in your underwear. that being said... it is totally, wickedly awesome the you guys are home!
I'm glad that you are home now. One thing that I feel the Lord pressed on my heart the other day was your opportunity to share your witness with others. That was my prayer on Tuesday, that Joshua's care would allow other people to see Jesus in you and your family. We continue to pray for Joshua's healing and please know that there are spiritual warriors continuing the fight as well. What a great tool in prayer that God has given us.
P.S. In case you are wondering, I'm a friend of Brad and Cory.
I skipped a couple of days checking in-but not in my prayers for you and your family. The sun is shining although the wind is a little chilly here in NM. I feel as if I know you personally and you are such a good friend. It is wonderful to be home, I know. It sounds like you are making the 6th floor another "home". God bless you and keep you in His loving, merciful care. Love and Prayers, always, Joan
take it easy on teh nurses! the last thing we need is for them to get sick having looked at you in your undies! LOL
That is wonderful, so glad you are home. Truly there is no place like home. Keeping prayers up and going for you all.

I'm glad that you're too busy having fun at home to blog a new update. Praying that time is tripled and the memories magnified.
