Wednesday 2nd Update

Will is doing well. He just got back from his CT scan, where they took a look at both his head and abdomen, to make sure his liver is ok after the heart cath. We should hear the results late this afternoon.

Will's strength never ceases to amaze us. They have been able to wean his oxygen from 80% to 55%. They have also made great strides in weaning his dopamine (blood pressure med.). His feeds have started back again, and he is resting peacefully. He has had a lot of edema and swelling all over his body from all of the fluids they've been giving him, but in just the last couple of hours he looks so much better.

Apparently, Dr. Parra (Will's Vandy cardiologist) talked to Dr. Bove earlier, and he came by to talk to us early this morning, but unfortunately he missed us. Dr. Parra's schedule is very packed, so I don't know when he will be able to stop by, but I will let you know what he says.

    Go Will go! We are praying for you and we are praying that Dr Bove sends a plane for you. Keep it up little buddy, you're almost there.

    Love, The Lowrie's

    God's powerful and loving hand is surely on His precious Will. As the ups and downs continue to unfold I am comforted by these words from Bill Gaither's hymn:

    Because HE lives
    I can face tomorrow...
    Because I know
    HE holds the future,
    life is worth the living
    just because HE lives.

    Much love

    Just wanted to let you know of someone else who is praying for you. My name is Jeanne Sentell and I have gone to church with Josh's dear grandparents all my life. My husband, Steve, and I also knew Josh when he lived with them here in Memphis several years ago. I have been keeping up with Will ever since he was born and have been utterly amazed at your strength and faith.

    We will continue to lift you all up in our prayers. I am so thankful that you are in the hands of The Great Physician - Jesus!!
