The Passing of James E. Rawley

Well, today is the 23rd of March 2010. Dwight just found his father about 2 wks ago and got in touch with his sister Susan Rawley. This morning around 7am James left this world as he knew it. But, before he left Dwight was able to plant some seeds and maybe just maybe he accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. This is very sad but out of all this you have a new found Aunt Sue.LOL.

Praise God its time.

Well today which is the 11th was the day we got sent home Larry and his mom came to pick us up from LR. What, an awesome blessing that was. We got released around 2pm and they got there around 3:30pm. When we got home we got to go to Dwight's choir practice so that was pretty cool.
Today is the 18th and mommy had a wreck with you and bubba..Man, Satan is after us. But, he can't keep us down in the name of Jesus!!!!

It's Auntie Trish, the guest blogger, once again. :)

Just got off the phone with Gina. They have the patients all in the hallways at Arkansas Children's because there are severe thunderstorms happening right now. She says it's just a precaution, that they are fine, but please pray that the storms pass quickly with no damage!

Joshie is doing a bit better today. The little stinker is feeling so well that he pulled out his own IV and is eating and drinking a bit on his own. She's hopeful that they may be coming home at the end of the week.

Gina is over her food poisoning, and feeling much better as well.

Thanks so much for your continued prayers.

Trish again...

Joshie finally got his GI test done at 1 o'clock this afternoon. His delayed digestion (i think) is gone, thank you Jesus, but he has severe reflux now...that should be controllable with medication though.

Continue to pray for Gina...apparently she has food poisoning from a cheeseburger she ate in the hospital cafeteria. She's really sick and the hospital can't/won't treat her because it's a children's hospital. They told her she could go sit in the ER, but they sat in there with Joshie 10 hours and she can't leave Joshie up in his room alone that long.

update

This is Gina's friend Trish. I noticed people were checking her blog so I asked her if I could update for her...I'm sure you all are worried about her and Joshie.

Sunday morning, March 7th I think, they took Joshie to an ER in Fort Smith because he hadn't been eating or drinking well and I think she said he had been throwing for several days again. After several hours, the ER determined he was dehydrated. They made the decision that he should go back to Arkansas Children's in Little Rock. Christian was sent to stay with her parents in Talequah.

When they finally made it to Little Rock, they were in the ER there for about 10 hours i believe before they could get them into a room and then got surprised with the news that Dwight wouldn't be allowed to stay in the room with them. He ended up getting to sleep in the 2nd floor waiting area at about 4 am. Since then, he's had to come home and the family is separated once again. Be praying for them all...this young family has had to be separated so much lately and I know from experience how hard that can be.

Last night I talked to Gina and learned that Joshie wouldn't be allowed to eat after midnight (NPO) until they did an upper GI exam on him this morning...no one actually told Gina any of this, she happened to see a sign on the door and realized it was for them. No one on staff is keeping them informed.

The test was supposed to be at 7:30 this morning, but Gina just texted me and said that they are STILL stuck down in radiology waiting to be seen. I'm not sure when Joshie last ate, but even if she fed him right before midnight that's been 11 hours ago.

Let's all be praying for her, that she can keep her cool when she needs to and be Joshie's advocate when she needs to...that's she's feel the Holy Spirit's leading and peace this morning and through the rest of this hospital stay. Let's pray for Joshie, that he'll receive healing in his tiny body and that the Lord would sustain him while he has to endure these tests. We also need to pray for Dwight...I can imagine that it was difficult for him to come home alone not knowing when his family will be together again...also that their financial needs will be met despite the unexpected costs of the trip to Little Rock and the medical bills that insurance doesn't cover. Also, pray for Christian that he has a good time visiting with his grandparents and aunts and that he feels his parents love even when they can't physically be there to show it.

Lastly, we need to pray for the hospital staff that they would be caring and kind despite being overworked...that they would see each family in their care as a person worthy of respect and consideration rather than just another room number and chart....and that God would guide them to find what is going on with Joshie and get him taken care of so that they can come home soon!

Love you Rawley family!

March 2010

Well, its March 1st and we are not off to a very good start tonight you threw up not sure why I think you drank to much at once and started coughing all at the same time you were fine after so I dont think it was a big deal. Your not eating very well this week either maybe you just dont feel to good but you'll be ok. Getting ready for Thursday the 4th going back to ACH to go and meet your new Urologist Dr. Cannon. So maybe by then you will have gained since last Thursday LOL.

Its been a pretty rough day for you, you haven't felt real good the last couple of days. You threw up again today we took you to see Dr. Fred he said you looked pretty good just that you were teething and thats making you hurt and throw up. But, Praise God they weighed you at the office and there you gained weight but tomorrow will tell us exactly how much weight you've gained in a weeks time. You haven't ate alot this week because the way you are feeling but you'll be alright.

As of today which is the 2nd you are still throwing up so we will just see whats going on. Well, today was the day we meet your new urologist Dr. Cannon real nice guy we have your surgery date its May 6th. You weighed 18lbs 13oz with clothes on so your getting there in weight to. So, March and April are packed for appts. oh yea. We noticed today at the drs. that you learned how to blow your nose and you know where your eyes, nose, and ears are. You go boy, show them that you can do it. We are so proud of you and your brother. We love you both very much.

Before I forget the nurse came in and asked if Joshua was potty trained, yeah at 19months old whatever. LOL!!!

Today is the 5th and its was the last day of your last RSV shot...Praise God we are done with that. You weighed 18lbs 4oz today at Dr. Fred's but you are still throwing up and he really doesn't know whats going on so he gives you nexium so hopefully that will help. We will just pray and believe that God will just heal you.

Well, today was the 6th and what a beautiful day it was we all went to the park and had a great time we were even interviewed there with Channel 5 news. That was cool. Your still throwing up today but you are eating a few bites here and there now. God just touch our little one.
