After spending only 48 hours in the hospital, we were discharged! Good news, right? We knew that Joshua's counts were low and we would be asked to return if a fever presented itself, but we had no idea that we would return after only 7 hours at home. Needless to say, it has been a very frustrating and long 24 hours. Even though we left the hospital only hours before, we had to go through the emergency department, only to return to the exact same room.
Joshua now has some kind of respitory infection with a consistantly high fever that is making him very uncomfortable. He is now on 3 different antibiotics and will still continue his chemotherapy tomorrow. Because his counts are so low, he has an infection, and still faces at least two weeks of intense chemotherapy, we will probably remain in the hospital for some time.
Please pray for his fever and the infection to go away since that seems to be the source of most of his discomfort.

Praying... hard. I'm ready for God to get his big stick out and beat Satan... Thanks for keeping us posted. I hope Joshua feels better soon.
Love you all,

We'll be praying specifically for you guys today at our 1:30 meeting. Several of us do on a regular basis individually, but today we're joining together to intercede for your precious family.
We miss one of our favorite writers. And friend.
Keep your head up. We are continuing to pray for each of you.

I am so thankful that God has provided little happies for you all, like baseball at home with daddy and special friends at the hospital to run with. Consider those all little hugs from Him to keep you looking up. Tell Joshua I'll check by sometime this week and he can push any buttons he wants to on my chair. :)

Praying that Abba comfort you all, give you rest beyond what you are actually getting, and strength to continue fighting through all the ups and downs! Love you all so very much!

Dear Father, I pray that Joshua's fever and discomfort may soon go away. Reach out your healing touch, Lord, for this family. They need your comfort and mercy. I praise you, Lord, for answered prayer.
Heal Joshua, Father. Please just heal him completely.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
We are so sorry that things are so topsy-turvy for all of you. We pray that the Father will meet all of your needs through Christ Jesus and give you just what you need when you need it. May He renew your spirit. We continue to pray for you regularly.
Love,
Bob and Peggy
