We went and visited Josiah yesterday and today. Even from yesterday to today we were able to see an improvement. He is doing so well and even cracking jokes and playing tricks on people.  A little over a month ago, Josiah was one of our star actors in Alice in Wonderland. 2 weeks ago he was suffering from powerful migraines, vomiting and hallucinating. A week ago, he had 20ccs (the size of a small lemon) of liquid removed from his brain followed by an induced coma.. A few days ago he was still hallucinating. The day before yesterday, his mom walked into his room and he exclaimed “HEY MOM! Wanna see the tunnel I’ve been digging?!?!” Molly sighed and resigned her self to another day of hallucinations and then Josiah said “Just kidding!!”  He is also throwing things at the garbage can across the room (which the nurses keep moving around the corner) and has full mobility, motor skills had been a concern before the surgery. So, praise the Lord, after this crazy ride he is healing quickly. Please continue to pray for him as he heals and is now being slowly weaned off of the intense pain medications he has been on. Also pray for patience for him as he is getting quite annoyed with the nurses and they are also probably getting annoyed with him!  Also continue to pray for Molly, Erick, Abbey, Joshua and Amelia: for restful sleep.

Here is a picture we took with Josiah today:
