Sorry for the delay with an update on Joshua but we did not have access to the Internet this week. Joshua was discharged from hospital on Monday and is now an outpatient and goes to the hospital every second day to be seen by a wound specialist. We headed up to the mountains on Monday as it was supposed to be our time away with Simon`s parents and his sister and her husband. It was a beautiful setting and we enjoyed good weather. Simon took him back to the hospital on Wednesday for his appointment (about 1 1/2 hours away). He is progressing in the right direction and we are truly thankful for that. He has been seeing a wound specialist the last two visits. We are praying it heals well from the inside to the outside well. He has done well overall now that the pain has subsided.
We were able to obtain a wheelchair for Joshua which meant we could take him out and let him see something of Switzerland. Joshua and I went up on a gondola together yesterday while everyone else went walking. We felt like we were on top of the world as everywhere we looked all we could see was mountaintops. Quite amazing. We also went in a pedalo boat in the afternoon which he steered around the lake while I pedaled :) Simon and Zara headed our way after they scootered down part of the mountain so jumped in the boat halfway through our time. It was a lovely day. There are more stories to tell as you can imagine but they will be better told with photos at some point.
Joshua just walked in the door from the hospital. The surgeon would like to see him again on Tuesday and then he will say whether we have a green light to travel or not the following Saturday or whether we need to stay longer in Switzerland. The care we have received for Joshua has been amazing and we are grateful to all those involved. Thanks also to all of you who have been praying. We have really appreciated it.
