More...

I don't have much time, but I want to keep you updated.

Things are moving along with a few glitches along the way. Currently Josh's skin is reacting to something and causing blisters. A dermatologist is headed over right now, so hopefully she will confirm that it is simply a response to the Xigris (the drug he was on) or the Sepsis.

He is off all of the blood pressure medicines and off of sedation. He still has a fever and is still sick, so his consciousness is strained. He's currently practicing on moving muscles, so that he will be strong enough to get off the respirator. Baby steps. He's given each of us a little hand squeeze and a wave. He knows we're there, and can respond to that.

Much thanks to God for the healing thus far.
