Well, we are learning every time we turn around not to get too excited about things because things change all the time.  The Drs came in this morning and said things were looking good.  Said they would begin to make arrangements for his stay in Springfield and look to have him there in a day or two.  They began a series of xrays and Cat scans to see how everything looked anticipating the transfer and began removing some of the sutures, which he was not at all thrilled about.  By the afternoon, another infection had popped up and more fluid was found in his right lung that required another tube being put in tonight to drain it.  They'll look to see if they need to put antibiotics directly into his lung and this will give them access to that as well.  All of this has to be gone before they'll release him so we wait again.  Please be in prayer about these things so we can get him to Springfield soon.  Also, if you would, please pray for Joseph.  Got a call and he hurt his ankle at football practice and is at the ER with a great friend.  God says He won't give us any more than what we're able to hold up under and I believe we're at our limit.  He has been so faithful and continues to carry us through each thing that comes up.  Met a wonderful lady tonight who lives up here and is a relative of some friends.  She took me to her house where I got a hot shower and some delicious soup.  I think it helped me mentally as much as it did physically.  God continues to show up at just the right moment and let me know that he's still here and knows our every need.  Thank you for your continued prayers and your encouragement.  I'll keep you posted ~
