Just when things were looking up

As you know, things were going really well with Josh last week. Similar to past experiences, cancer and its effects have hit hard again. Josh was having difficulty breathing last night (short of breath). He ended up going to the hospital via ambulance late last night. They did some x-rays and CT-scans and it became apparent that Josh needed the ventilator again.

So Josh is now in the ICU sedated,on a ventilator (same ICU at NW). He has fluid in the lining of his lungs. Not sure exactly what this fluid is, but it's obviously not good. They drained one lung today and are biopsying the fluid. We should know more tomorrow. His vitals are holding stable.

We need some major prayers again. They worked last time and we have faith that they will work again. Please also say a prayer for our friends in the ICU.
