Josh is scheduled for his first injection in the spinal canal today. The nurse just came in and put an iv in his hand and is giving him fluids right now. They say stem cells love fluids. He is supposed to get the injection around 2:30 pm. The whole procedure is supposed to only take around 15 or 20 minutes. When they bring him back, he’ll have to lay flat of his back for 6 hours. He can slowly roll over on his sides, but he is not supposed to raise his head up. I guess it has to do with keeping the spine straight.
Sorry it took me so long to get some pictures on here. I still haven’t figured it out 100% but I’m getting there. I appreciate everyone’s comments. It’s nice to here from everyone back home. Mom says hi to all her customers. She misses all her people from the rest. We are already home sick. We are slowly getting more used to things here. Everyone says it’s hard the first week. We love and miss everyone. Please pray for Josh that his treatment will go well. Thank you…
Melissa

Hey chicky! “Sup”? It is 1:00 in the morning here and go figure, i’m having trouble sleeping. I was thinking of you all so i figured i would say hi. Glad to see that things are still going okay. Tell Josh he was very handsome in his pics. I spent most of the evening at Miranda’s. The babies are dancing now when you play music. They are absolutely precious. I wish i could be there with you guys. It just isn’t the same here without you.The boys and I will keep praying for ya’ll. I tried to send you a regular e-mail,but my server is messed up. Go figure. I was soooooo mad. Any who, Give mom and Josh kisses from me and hugs’n'kisses to you too.

Kat!

Hi to all of you from Arkansas…..
I loved seeing the pictures of Josh out having fun in China. How cool. I just wish it was for a different reason. I’m hoping the spinal injections don’t hurt too bad. When I had Paul I had a spinal block and I was supposed to lie flat for 6-8 hours after, but they forgot to tell me and they let me sit up and eat breakfast. I started having migraines after that. It has something to do with spinal fluid level and the head. At least that was the explanation I got. You and your mom need to get in some of the photos too. Give the boy a kiss and hug from me and take care. Debbie
