is usually discouraged.
I'm guessin.
But there are some exceptions
and after a bit of first date jitters they met
and before long they were out for a stroll about town.
Rachel is here.
Can you tell how excited he is?
:)
He isn't excited by much these days
I think he is a little.....
or a lot
bummed out.
He doesn't feel good
He doesn't know anyone
He doesn't understand anything
and he is scared beyond belief that someone is going to cut him open.
Bless his heart.
They took his arterial line out yesterday so we were able to get out of the room which did a whole lot to brighten his spirits so I intend to keep him out and rolling around in that wagon as much as I can today.
We will hit all the hot spots
the cafeteria
the gift shop
the terrace
the playroom
ya know
all the places the cool people hang out.
I may start a dating service in all my free time.
Chi-harmony has a certain ring to it no?

I just love that smile on his adorable little face!! :)..I can't wait for the day I see photo's of him running and playing!!....And the "date" is just too cute also...
ReplyDeleteStill AMAZED that they are together:) Great job entertaining, Mom!!!
ReplyDeleteToo Too cute!!
ReplyDeleteLove it, so cute! Praying for you all.
ReplyDeleteThey are both so cute!
ReplyDeleteCan't believe those two kiddos are together at the same hospital! WOW!
Too cute!!
ReplyDeletePrecious! Love their cozy, wagon-ride-by-the-light-of-the-hospital-fluorescents, ride. ;)
ReplyDeleteLove it. They are entirely too cute.
ReplyDeleteBless his heart (no pun intended!). I cannot begin to imagine what thoughts are rolling around in his brain about what has happened in his life in the last week. PICU is scary enough without the language barrier and all the strangers surrounding him.
And, really, you and he are sort of "dating" too when you think about it. Getting to know each other, showing him you are trustworthy and kind, letting him enjoy your love and affection...
Keep up all your awesome work, Mama! Hang in there! Praying for you especially through the weekend as the stress of wondering whether he would be deemed operatble is now over, and the anticipation of the big day Monday builds. I can only begin to imagine how weary you must be by now!
You are such an amazing Mama. Praying for you all. So sweet to see J & R!
ReplyDeleteCutest blog post ever! That is so great you giys have been able to skype with Joshua and now getting to hang out with Rachel. :) Praying for all of these kids. :)
ReplyDeleteBrandee
Following your story has caused your little Joshua to steal MY heart! I bet he is stealing many hearts around there, huh? :) I continue to pray for you all. I feel like I am re-living our little Kevin's hospital stays...and he was quite spoiled too. (okay, maybe he STILL is quite spoiled!) :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a blessing you are surrounded by the Body of Christ in all shapes, sizes and colors!
Prayers from AL...
PICU-Date! Love it!
ReplyDelete-Rachel in Columbus
God is so good, He knew all this before it even came to be.
ReplyDeleteHang in there Sonia,
We are praying and thinking of you ALL
