How's Josh Doing?

Josh's healing is remarkable!  His face is free of the burn marks and the other areas on his shoulder and his legs are almost completely gone.  He has been caring for the open burn wounds on his head and foot.  These are the entry and exit points of the electricity.  It has been a blessing to share Josh’s story with Doctors and Nurses as they are quite amazed at his miracle.  One of Josh’s doctors was especially helpful to us by helping us get into see a neurologist quickly.  We were grateful for her help as she called in a favor for us to be seen quickly.

Josh's New Shirt-always have loved his sense of humor
I am so blown away by the love and concern for Josh.  He would have to say the same as well.  I am asking him to write his thoughts down to post here.  I want him to share his heart with those of you who have asked.  I also believe it's important to never forget what God has done for us and through us.  Josh told me today that the greatest lie Satan has ever pushed is for mankind to believe he isn't real or doesn't exist.  That's pretty profound.  We don't care that he exists, because greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world. 


I realize through all of this how I so quickly take for granted the gift of life and the blessing of kids.  Teresa Clark (Caleb’s Mom) has been a great friend to share this experience with.   To see our boys go through a challenge and be so mature and spiritually grounded was a true gift for both of us.  I will always have a special connection to their family.  They have always treated Josh like their own son.  He feels so at home with them. 

I have asked her to write her thoughts so you can see how mighty and far reaching our God is. When God moves, the ripple effect is greater than we might ever see.  It was a challenge for Teresa to let her son go to Mexico.  I am grateful that she surrendered her fears and her son to be able to be in Mexico.  
(I will publish that as soon as she can catch her breath.  School just started back and she is one of the amazing teachers at Josh's school)
