Josh's Updates: Setback

Setback

I wish we could say we experienced another progression, but late last night Josh got pneumonia . Before any further surgeries can take place this infection will need to be treated. This could take anywhere from 7 to 14 days. It will take 24 hours to discover the strain of pneumonia so that it can be treated with the correct antibiotic. Please keep Josh and his family in your prayers. Stay tough Josh!!! We love you.

Josh was spending the day with his family at the Holmes family reunion. They were all having some 'fun in the sun' at Pineview Reservoir. Josh had been impressing everyone with his wakeboarding skills and took a couple bad wrecks. Later that day he was swimming off the shore at Middle Inlet with his brothers Justin and Colton. Josh was standing in the water almost to his waist when he did a swimmers dive to go in for a swim. Josh remembers hitting the sand. He was instantly paralyzed and was not able to come up. His brothers swimming close by noticed his back arched and his head under and wondered what he was doing, they swam over to him and helped him out to the shore, Josh coughed up some water, and told them he thought he was drowning. Justin touched Josh's leg and he could not feel them. 911 was called immediately, within 4-5 min. the paramedics were there and called life-flight. Josh was transported to the Hospital.
