Help Joshua's Family Stay by His Side

My name is Brandy, most of you know me as Mama B/Aunt B. But my favorite name is MOM. That's why I'm reaching out today because Joshua is very sick and unless Father touches him either miraculously or medically, he will pass. The girls and I prayed for one more chance, a fresh set of eyes, and here we are. Like I said before, I never imagined that we would be here at Cedars-Sinai.

Tomorrow will be a week since we got here and they should be attempting to wake him up soon. They are getting him strong enough to wake up, breathe on his own so they can present him to the transplant team. The only problem we're having in this situation is just affording somewhere to lay our heads at the end of the day because we want to be here with him especially when they wake him up.

In March, Joshua was diagnosed with final stage cirrhosis of the liver, 5 days after that kidney failure depression. We're trying to see if he may have had a pre-existing liver condition where the alcoholism just threw it overboard. His grandpa passed away from cirrhosis also and he never drank. I know that's all water under the bridge now but they can just give me some answers to some questions, for instance, why did this happen so quickly.

Watching this is the most difficult thing I've ever done in my life but I have to be here to stand up for Joshua, to fight for him and be his voice when he's not able. I don't want him to be alone and I don't want to be 300 miles away when he needs me. Another reason I created this GoFundMe is for the girls and I to be able to be here for Joshua, to try to be here comfortably as we can away from home, to just make sure we can grab a little bite to eat, a cup of coffee, gas if we do have to go back and forth, parking pass.

I thought it was hard at home but being this far away from home is 10 times harder. We did find a place about a mile away that was very convenient but if I have to, I'll sleep in my car too. I appreciate all of you who have helped us. I appreciate all of your prayers. I'm telling you what guys, this is a miracle. Josh is a miracle. However this ends, I'd like us to be here for him. I want him to know how hard we fought for him and most of all, how much we all love him#pray4josh. Thank you.
