Happiness keeps us sweet, trials keep us strong. Sorrows keep us human. Failures keep us humble. Success keeps us growing, but ONLY God keeps us going.

Josiah's Journey

I have created this blog, so that I can update my family, friends and prayer warriors of "strong mans" journey.  I will update often on his condition and rather or not we are hospitalized, surgeries and procedures.

For TODAY,

His feeding tube has clogged twice and the first time I was able to flush it (with ginger ale, the carbonation breaks up any formula that may have clogged it) and I was able to get it to push through.  About an hour later, it clogged yet again!  I got the ale out and tried to pump it in without success.  Chris will be home shortly and he is going to see what he can do.  If it still won't flush, then we will remove the tube and begin bottle feeding exclusively. We just started last night, offering him the bottle again and he takes it just fine but he wont keep it down.  His specialist thinks that maybe all he needed was this last month on the feeding tube, to help him to mature further and handle oral feedings.
We shall see where this path takes us.
