God is working here! John is the same today as he was yesterday. They have been treating the fungal infection in his lungs. They did a cat scan... found teeeeeeennie tiny swelling in the brain. So they took him off the sedation med to test his responses. He was able to squeeze the dr's hand and give a thumbs up so they said he should that if it was an infection he wouldn't be able to do that and they'd see more on the scan.
We ran into another family today... similar story to the young lady from yesterday. However they are the grandparents... the mother committed suicide friday (the babies been in the hospital since wednesday and was "taken away" from her thursday. The grandfather had a heart attack IN the ambulance on the way with the baby. Child protective services has been called on them and the four year old has been placed in foster care. The had been in the hospital a week earlier with her seriously vomitting and a fever. Fever induced seizures run in the family and her older sister has them. The fever was at 101 and they requested medicine. They hospital released them saying we only give that medicine if the fever reaches 102... The next day at home she had a seizure they called and rushed her to the hospital. Then the hospital has reported them for shaken baby syndrome... even though the child had a seizure that THEY warned would happen and were sent home without medicine for. BJ prayed with him, he was clearly angry upset and confused. And after we left he told his wife that he wanted to be baptized by the same minister that recently baptized the 4 year old. She found us later to thank us and to tell us how closed off his heart has been. How angry he's been at God. That he's never had any sort of religion in his life and all he's been doing is thinking and talking about this since earlier today. She said hes calmed down and keeps saying that he trusts God to get them the babies back because they didn't do anything and he knows he's a God who gives justice. Praise Him!
Needless to say it's been a blessing to have BJ here. He's provided such an emotional break for Mom and I, and especially John. John John loves his big brother, he loves his presence, and he loves his voice. Even through the meds John responds to BJ so well and it's been a blessing to have him! He's leaving tonight (late night drive) so please pray for his travels as we all want him safe! And SPECIAL SHOUT OUT THANK YOU!!! to Kishore for stepping up big time and making it possible for us to have BJ this weekend! We needed that and we love and thank you for it!
Thank you all
