Baby Joshua

From Lauressa:
Sorry, I've lagged on updating on him :( Well, since I last updated you he's been thru a couple more surgeries and ended up with shunt in his head to help drain the extra fluid building up in his head. This will help keep him out of pain, because extra fluid causes very bad headaches. He's also battled a very serious infection in one of his first shunts. He won those battles!! Now, today starts a new battle. He starts his chemo regimen today. He is going to be receiving some very strong ones and needs as many prayers as we can all muster. Prayers that his docs and nurses will administer this chemo cocktail with the utmost of care and knowledge of these medications. Prayers to continue giving Joshua the strength and will to fight this terrible disease. Prayers for Josh Sr and Kendall (his parents) to be able to handle all the stress/demands that go along with going through this type of an ordeal. Please everyone keep this sweet baby and his family in your prayers. Include them in your church's prayer listings and tell your friends and neighbors as well. He's almost 10 months old now and was just diagnosed a little over a month ago.
Thanks again everyone!

Pray On!
