Seriously.
I CANNOT get over how great he looks.
When he came up from surgery on Monday I gushed over his pink fingernails
his pink toenails
even his now pink ears.
But what I couldn't really see
was
his
face.
So many tubes
wires
tape
monitors
stickers
I'm tellin ya
homeslice was covered.
But now.
OH
but
now.
I have caught my first glimpse of the real Joshua.
Bestill
my
heart.
The difference is incredible.
I heart pink.
This is day 13 in the hospital.
The first few days were filled with the questions of
Can they save him?
Then heart cath day rolled around and we rejoiced.
Then we waited until surgery day.
Then the last 5 days have been consumed with getting him over all of the reprofusion injuries
but today
ahhhhhhh
today.
Today is a great day.
After 13 days I finally feel like I can take a deep breath.
He's here.
He's alive.
Surgery complete.
His heart is good to go for the next few years
We appear to be over the hump
So today,
today is a good day.
This is the day that the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it.
