Surgery Postponed
Well, today has been a roller coaster of emotions. Dan &
I sat through our pre-surgery prep, a little more information about what to
expect with Devin’s heart surgery tomorrow. Trying to wrap our minds around
everything, and what exactly do we do for the 6-8 hours of surgery.
So, early this afternoon our doctor came in to tell us that
Devin’s surgery would have to be postponed due to a possible emergency heart
transplant our surgeon would be doing. While we totally understand the urgency
in that situation, it was just still hard news to take after preparing
ourselves as best we could for the situation. As of now; Devin’s surgery is
scheduled on Monday. Not the news we wanted, but as with all of this; we have
no control of this situation.
Please pray for our hearts to just rest as we wait. Please
also pray for the family who’s child might be receiving the heart transplant. I
am constantly amazed by what the Lord has gifted these doctors to do!
One of the highs for the day was that Dan & I were able
to hold Devin for the first time today! It’s a little tricky to snuggle with
wires and tubes coming out all over, but we enjoyed every moment. His brothers
were a sad they couldn’t hold him, but they really just love this baby.
Devin is one week old today! Quite the ride he’s been on so
far, and we can’t wait to see where this little guy takes us from here. Thank you for the prayers!! We will keep you
posted on his surgery!
FATHER GOD, I ask that you strengthen this dear couple with your power to truth, to stand stedfast and to hold to all your promises. Help them to wait upon you, for YOU are their refuge:YOU are the tower that they can run into. Touch little Devin's body and sustain his life according to your purpose and we thank you that you know all things and your ways are not our ways. Show them the lessons that you would have them to glean from this journey and bless them abundantly with your grace and mercy. In Jesus name, I pray and I praise you Father that they are not along...ever. Amen.
