| On a positive note, this is a very successful procedure, depending on what the doctors are doing. But I know you and your wife are worried sick about it. He'll be so much better after the surgery you can hardly believe it. Our oldest son had the same problem and we had to deal with it the best we could. Reliance on God is a powerful help at these times. |

| Thank you guy I appreciate all the prayers. We arrived early this morning and headed back to get prepped for surgery and little guy had stomach issues. They were on the fence and decided to to operate today. I think it was from all the stress of pre op tests. They postponed the surgery and have been monitoring his condition all day. He has been eating and drinking good so they think if he is normal through the night they will perform his operation tomorrow morning. Thanks to all that have prayed for my little buddy! I really appreciate it!! |

| Doing well this morning. Didn't like the drugs. He is on Benadryl and is awake and alert. Uncomfortable but that is to be expected. They will be removing drainage tubes so today will be painful but tonight he should be more relaxed. He had a large hole in his heart and one of the concerns was that sometimes in cases with a large hole fluid will develop around his heart. They have been monitoring it closely and his drainage seems to be clearing up. This is great new!! Praise God!! Thank you all!! |
