Joy Update

Hello everyone,

For those who were not aware, Joy has been suffering from kidney stone related problems for the last six or seven weeks (maybe longer).

Yesterday in the late morning the pain became unbearable and Joy finally agreed to go to the hospital. She was admitted to the hospital overnight. Some of the other details are sketchy but this is what I have interpreted from various phone calls with her since yesterday afternoon:
1.) kidney stone is about 2cm in size
2.) the current hospital cannot do the standard sound wave treatment (forget the name) so she may have to go to a different hospital for that treatment
3.) she has a catheter to drain one of her kidneys
4.) she has a bad kidney infection in one of her kidneys and is on medicine to take care of it

We were to be taking care of Aiden and Alli (our close friends from Chichi) this weekend. We've worked out with Don and Heather to swap weekends so Abigail and Emma will be heading to Chichi today and later in the summer we'll take Aiden and Alli again.

Praise the Lord for this: Sara has been taking the baby formula (so far).

I will try to keep the blog updated (instead of Facebook) as I am not sure we're connected with everyone on Facebook.

Thanks very much to Rick, Millys, Julia, and Chris and Mike for coming to the rescue yesterday. We very much appreciate all that you all have done for us.

In Christ,
