In a couple of days Josh will have been home two weeks! Time sure doe fly...also on Wednesday we have an appointment with the surgeon. He will determine if Josh is ready to have his ostomy reversed so that his bowels can start working again. Please pray that he is ready for this surgery, he will be so happy to get rid of his ostomy bag. We also are in need of some very strong prayers for his mental state and attitude. He has become very depressed and is having a hard time seeing that everything will be okay. We are all trying to encourage him but it seems like his mind is just tired and depressed. He gets cheered up a bit when friends and relatives come to visit but other than that, he is struggling on a daily basis. Please, please pray for his spirits and attitude to come up and be able to keep fighting this hard battle. I thank you all so much for your prayers, letters, donations, love, and support. Each and every one of you touch my heart everyday and I KNOW that God has great things in store for us!
With much love,
Kalyn

Thoughts & prayers continuing your way. Josh - stay strong - God has amazing plans in store for you & your beautiful family!!!!
It's great to hear from you! I hope that the doctors feel that Josh is strong enough for surgery again. If not, I know you will get the strength from God to deal with that decision, too. It is hard (and very normal) to feel depressed sometimes with all that you have been through, but, Josh, you are never alone. All of you have been given the gift of time with your family and I know you are charishing every moment. We are all praying for your strength and healing, Josh!
We are continuing to send our prayers and thoughts to all of you...I've been dealing with a lot also lately, and we all just need to keep our faith in God, who will see all of us thru our times of trial...Josh, keep the faith! God does have great things planned for you and your precious family! He is always with you, every step of the way and when you are too weak, he will carry you! Love you all!
Gayle and family, Wayne and Linda and family
