Waiting.....

Today has been all about keeping Josh comfortable. He does not like to be turned, his blood pressure goes up every time. It usually comes down on it's own but sometimes requires more pain meds or meds for anxiety. Last night the nurse noticed he has some blisters from being so swollen, here and there and some of them have popped. Also his right arm has gotten a bit more swollen and is black and blue on the underside of it. When he is more stable and his stomach is closed up he's going to need some more x-rays to check for other broken things. He had a slight fever today, but it has broke. He is also a little Jaundice from all the blood he received but that is to be expected. I wonder if they have a billy light bed big enough for him? Hmm, I will have to ask.

The Doctor said we are still on for Wednesday's surgery to close him up. He is also going to remove his chest tube. He is doing really well with the ventilator and it looks like it won't be long after surgery that he will have it out. They have started him on some nutrition and he is tolerating it well.
My favorite thing that happened today was that a nurse that had worked on him in the first day or two came in and said that "There are medicines and there are miracles and this is a miracle." I know she is right, I know there were angels who kept him from landing on his head when he was falling head first and I know that all of the prayers that have been said on his behalf have kept him here with me. I am grateful for that. Thank you everyone for everything.
