Monday Morning Update

Good morning all. Thought I'd post a quick update earlier in the day this time...sorry I waited so long yesterday. The hospital can be a very busy place! I know you may be worried about our little man. Joseph developed a fever last night and didn't feel good. But, the good news is his fever is already gone and now he feels fine. :) We all think it was just an adverse reaction to the Thymoglobulin. It didn't last long, thank goodness. He had one 3 beat run of PVC's, which means a little irregular heartbeat. But the good news is it only happened once and they will do an EKG this morning.

Did I tell you that when Stephen was driving to meet us in Charleston Thursday night he saw a rainbow? We both think that was a good sign of things to come. :)

Joseph's main complaint about the hospital is not how he feels or that he is scared. Nope, he's just bored. He is decorating the big window in his room with the solar system. He's making it out of Bendaroose (As Seen on TV). :) I told him we'd better find a science book, because it's been forever since I've had to align the solar system. Between Google and Nurse Caroline.......we'll get the project done. He lives for the time that the Atrium is open. So, for now we are watching the clock waiting for the doors to swing open and let us in! :) I'll post later in the day to give you an update from the docs.

We don't understand why these things happen, but this Bible verse brings us peace.
And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. (Rom 8.28)

Heart Hugs,
Angela, Stephen, Joseph, and Abigail

Hey Angela! So thankful for your updates. We all have been praying for Joseph and all your family. Hayden is very upset and wants to see Joseph soon! Please tell him Hi for Hayden and he hopes he gets better soon. About the solar system....good luck with that girl! You know there is another planet bigger than Pluto! Can't remember the name--I will have to ask the boys when they get home! Try to take a picture of the solar system-would love to see it! Much love to you all and continued prayers too. Meg
