Joshua has been doing well in rehab. At first there were major issues with his pain in his lower back as well as nausea. Thankfully, his doctor has been taking this very seriously and within a couple of days the nausea was under control and the pain a little bit more manageable. 

Now that his nausea is more under control, he can actually EAT and start to regain his strength back. Since the shooting, Joshua has lost 25 pounds in only 3 weeks, which is crazy. 

While in rehab, he is working on transferring from a bed to a wheelchair and they recently had him get into a more "sporty" type wheelchair which is also lighter. He really liked that one better! 

The children and I got to have a long visit with him on Sunday. I will admit, the hardest part of this ordeal is the separation of our family. Before this, we were always together. This is the longest time Joshua has ever been away from us and his absence is greatly felt. 

As far as his spinal injury goes, we are looking into getting second opinions. Please pray for the Lord to lead us in the right direction!

We thank you, as always, for your prayers and support during this time! It is really sinking in that this is going to be a long journey for us. But thankfully we serve a God who is able to sustain us each day and He gives us the grace we need to get through each day!
