Plural...GOOD DAYS! Friday, with Mark back at work and Joanne tending the home front alone, went much better than expected. Joanne even got some schooling done! Both Josh and Elizabeth ventured out for the first time Saturday - taking a ride to Sonic for a milkshake. Josh has a great perspective on everything that has happened. He is excited for Tuesday to come and anxiously awaiting the removal of the bandages. Elizabeth is concerned about scarring and a little more apprehensive about Tuesday. It is not a given that her bandages will be removed - but it is a possibility. She is bored - which is a good sign. Elizabeth is also struggling with itching associated with the healing process.
Joanne laughed on the phone today. It was a beautiful sound and one I look forward to hearing more often...
Please praise our Heavenly Father with the Van Swols for the good days that they have had! Please pray that each day would continue to be an improvement. Please pray that the itching would lessen. Please pray that both children would be able to have all bandages removed on Tuesday and that the whole family would be emotionally ready for all that Tuesday brings.
We are so thankful that everyone's healing is progressing well. Happy Birthday a few days late Josh!!!You have always been a friend to Nathan and we are very thankful for you. You all are daily in our prayers.

Josh & Elizabeth - here is a link to that video I was telling your dad about. Not very long, but really funny! If you can't get it on YouTube, I will try to post a link on my FaceBook page =)
