When it rains, it pours!

Wanna hear a funny joke? Ready for it? Ok...here it is...we found out on Friday that we have to move. AGAIN. Ok, so it's not really funny and it's definitely not a joke. Our landlord is being transfered back from St. Louis and there is a clause in our lease that if her job moves her back, she can terminate the lease. So she is terminating our lease and wants to move back in at the end of June. So keep it in prayer and we'll keep you updated on where we'll be moving to next. Maybe we should start our own moving company. I mean, this will be our sixth move in the four years we've been married. We're getting really good at it. :)

The other thing that's happening now is that Joshua is back in the hospital. It's not serious, it's just a precaution because his doctor is so conservative. I noticed some redness & draining around the central line insertion site on his leg and asked his doctor about it today. In order to be safe rather than sorry, Dr. Keim admitted Josh to start a round of antibiotics to kill any infection that may be starting. If they find out that there is no infection and it was just skin irritation, they'll stop the antibiotics and send him home. If they find out that there is an infection, he will still be sent home and we'll just have to add the antibiotic treatments to his antiviral treatment. Either way, we should be home in a few days.

Ending on a good note is always a good thing. So here we go...Joshua weighed in at 9 lbs, 4 oz today at the hospital. Holy moses! Apparently he puts on weight like his mama...just by thinking about food. :) He is awake more and more of the day and loves to stare out the window or look at you while you talk to him. He is such a blessing!

Joshua, it's your Nana... I love your smiles and miss you so much. You are such a good patient. I am so proud of you (and mommy and daddy too) for being so strong and courageous throughout this whole ordeal. See how God loves you and cares for you already!
