Thursday Update: 7/6/06
(Brandon) Just for those who may not know me, and are expecting Cari to write, I am Josh's friend whom he was coming to see the night of the accident. I am maintaining the blog site for the Chandlers, and I post from time to time, as well as posting Cari's letters each night.
I was able to go see Josh in Chapel Hill tonight. He basically rested peacefully all day. From all that I know and heard from the family, he wasn't agitated at all today. He has kinda been on an every-other day rotation between active and restful. One day will be full of responses and reactions, and the next day will be restful. Today was the restful one. But that's good for Josh. He ended up being off the respirator for 14 consecutive hours yesterday. That's a milestone so far! (When he achieves 24 hours off the resp., he can come out of ICU.)
He did pull his feeding tube out of his stomach last night late, so they had to re-insert a feeding tube in his nose, as they had done originally. As of now, they are planning to do a minor surgery tomorrow in order to connect the feeding tube back into Josh's stomach.
Continue to pray, and don't forget to share the story of God's faithfulness with others. It can be a great evangelistic opportunity. The story involves Josh, but it is ultimately about God. He has a great plan. He is loving and gracious! We praise Him for how good He always is! (Psalm 145)
Until Tomorrow!
