Joshua's 'Baby Story' cont....

JOSHUA IS 3 WEEKS OLD TODAY!!!
WE CAN HOLD HIM NOW!!!!!!!!!!!! I POSTED NEW PICS IN HIS ALBUM, CHECK THEM OUT- HE GETS MORE PRECIOUS EVERY TIME WE SEE HIM!!!!
THE LUNG SPECIALIST TOLD ME LAST NIGHT THAT JOSHUA IS DOING SO WELL, THEN THIS MORNING WHEN WE WENT UP THERE HE WAS OFF THE CPAP! PTL!!!!!! THE SURGEONS & DR.'S ARE SO IMPRESSED WITH JOSHUA'S PROGRESS AND THINK HE WILL BE OUT BEFORE THANKSGIVING WITH NO TUBES, MONITORS, NOTHING!!!!! PTL!!!!!
HE HAS LOST A LITTLE BIT OF WEIGHT BUT NOT MUCH, AND THEY HAVEN'T STARTED FEEDING HIM YET (THEY WILL START THE FEEDING TUBE ON FRIDAY THIS WEEK)!! HOPEFULLY HE WILL HANDLE THAT AND THEN THEY CAN MOVE TO THE BOTTLE EARLY NEXT WEEK!!!!!
WE MET WITH THE ATTORNEY'S TODAY AND ALL WE CAN SAY RIGHT NOW IS THINGS WILL BE DONE BEFORE JOSHUA GOES HOME WITH US!!!!!!!!! IN THIS CASE WITH IT BEING A PRIVATE ADOPTION IT USUALLY GOES PRETTY FAST AND IS ALL UP TO HOW FAST MICHAEL AND I CAN GET ALL OF OUR "TO DO'S" DONE, AND I AM HAPPY TO SAY THAT WE WILL HAVE COMPLETED EVERYTHING BY MONDAY!!!!! WHICH MEANS, ALL THEY HAVE TO DO IS TYPE EVERYTHING UP AND TAKE IT TO COURT NEXT WEEK SOMETIME!!!!!! THEY SAID THAT EVERYTHING SHOULD BE LEAGAL BY THE 11TH!!!! PTL!!!!!!!!
OUR PRAYERS RIGHT NOW ARE THAT JOSHUA'S INTESTINES WILL BE ABLE TO HANDLE THE THE FLUIDS(THEY WANT HIM TO BE ABLE TO SWALLOW, BREATH AND SUCK ALL AT THE SAME TIME BEFORE HE CAN GO HOME)- AND THAT HIS INTESTINES WON'T LEAK OR HAVE ANY BLOCKAGE!
OF COURSE, IF YOU WOULD STILL KEEP THE WHOLE LEGAL STUFF IN YOUR PRAYERS THAT IS HELPING FOR SURE!!!!!
WE SO APPRECIATE ALL OF THE SUPPORT WE HAVE RECEIVED!! THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO HAS SAID A PRAYER, GIVEN AN ENCOURAGING WORD, AND LISTENED WHEN WE NEEDED YOU TO :) ESPECIALLY, THE ONE'S THAT WENT WAY ABOVE AND BEYOND AND BLESSED MICHAEL AND WITH "HUGE FINANCIAL GIFTS!"- THAT BLESSED US SO MUCH, YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!!!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO HAS BEEN APART OF THIS PROCESS!!! YOU GUYS HAVE MEANT THE WORLD TO MICHAEL, GAVYN, JOSHUA AND I!!!!!! WE AS A FAMILY ARE SO BLESSED TO HAVE ALL OF YOU IN OUR LIVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!! AND PRAY THAT THE LORD BLESSES YALL IN RETURN FOR THE LOVE YOU HAVE SHOWN OUR FAMILY!!!!!!!!!!!
