Saturday Update: 6/17/06
**Written by Cari**
Good evening to all. I hope that your Saturday was just fabulous. Daddy made it safely early this morning to visit for the weekend - praise God. I get a little nervous now whenever people take road trips!
Josh had a pretty good day today. Nothing exciting and new, but definitely no steps backwards today. That is a phrase that I like to hear! Josh again is continuing to follow little commands like blinking and raising his fingers, but he is still having some agitation (which they still have to medicate him for). Today seemed to be a little better than yesterday. Finally, at the end of the night, he gave daddy the thumbs up sign - it was the first time my dad had seen him respond in any way. I was glad that daddy could actually see some progress. They were able to turn down his ventilator settings even more and he seemed to still be able to tolerate it by the end of the day. He is now again breathing on his own, using the ventilator only for pressure support and for oxygen needs. We will see how he does overnight. Hopefully tomorrow will bring much the same with less agi tation. Wouldn't it be awesome if he were to communicate more on Father's Day? That is my prayer. I hope that you all have a wonderful evening and Happy Father's Day to all of you dads out there.

I recently heard of this tragic event your family is going through. I was inspired by reading some of the updates to hear that your family is looking and relying on God for this situation. HE does have a perfect will and way for each of our lives and even though it is tough for us as humans, it is awesome to think that God sees the BIG picture in life and has a PERFECT purpose and plan for each of our lives! I also wanted to let you know that our entire SS class (here in Spartanburg) is lifting up your family and Josh- for him to have a quick recovery and also for God's will and way to be shown. May God be with you all and Josh will continue to be lifted up in our prayers!
