Merri is feeling much better. She's still a little hoarse, but she's breathing much better.
The rest of the week is going to be busy. Josiah's going in for his 8th round of chemo Wed and Thurs night. We'll all be home this weekend, and then I'm headed to Dallas Sunday night for a week of working and saving the lives of countless MacBooks.
We just passed the 6 month anniversary of Josiah's tumor being discovered. Needless to say, it's been an insane 6 months, and it's a little overwhelming to think there's no end in sight. That said, I think Merri and I are both becoming far more comfortable with dealing with it all each day.
Thank you all for the continued support and prayer.

The last 6 months really have been a whirlwind of appointments, surgeries, new people, and much prayer support. If crisis does indeed reveal character, here's what a lot of us have witnessed in the past 6 months; a young father reaching ever higher points of strength, dedication, and determination to be the husband and father Merri and Josiah need, a young mom who continues to amaze and encourage everyone with her gentle persistence to make each day a good one for her baby boy, teaching and training him, while dealing with each therapy, surgery, treatment. And a little lion of a boy who is a study in God's grace and mercy. Josiah is a sweet and fierce little one who exhibits both a determined will to live joyously and a calm acceptance of his circumstances. To see him return with such vigor and delight to normal activities after each surgery and each treatment is a lesson in how to handle the trials we face in this life. Thank you for sharing him and so much of this journey with us. Stephen and Merri, your faith and your resolution to honor the Lord throughout the past 6 months (and before) reveal a wisdom far beyond your age. God knew you were exactly the parents Josiah needed before you ever held him in your arms and He will continue to hold the 3 of you in His tender and secure embrace. Love you always.
