I got to take both my kids to Target today!  OK, that may sound totally crazy to some of you…but it was such a wonderfully “normal” thing to do and I enjoyed it immensely.  Plus, I just love Target, and Ava calls herself a “Target Girl”, and Lincoln just likes to go anywhere, so I think we all had a good time.  Friends of mine from college just had twin boys (who are here in the NICU), so Ava and I had fun shopping for some little gifts for them.  They are super cute!

Anyway, down to business.  Josiah is still here at Methodist…but he seems to be on the upward swing.  We had some rough days with a lot of frustration, which I won’t get into here (thank you to those of you who listened to me vent…you know who you are and I appreciate it so much!).  Josiah could go home as early as tomorrow…we are definitely praying for that.  The kids are having a great time at my parents house and I see them when I can.  They are the sweetest!

I don’t have any fancy words tonight.  I’m too exhausted for that.  Josiah is back in the hospital with low blood counts and pain…again.  It’s been a long and frustrating day, but Josiah is resting comfortably in his room at Methodist hospital and that is what’s important at this point.  I have to say, that with all the medical professionals that I have met, I am thankful that the majority of them have been good at what they do and compassionate for their patients.  But there have been a few (and I won’t mention any names, but we had one today who was someone we don’t normally work with), that just don’t seem to have a clue as to what they are doing.  This can be extremely frustrating when you are trying to get your point across and are getting no where.  It makes me appreciate so much more the wonderful medical staff that God has provided for both Josiah and Ava…we are very blessed!

I’m sure I will update more soon.  I just wanted to get a quick update out before I hit the sack.
