If you are of the praying kind (and even if your not) here are somethings that we are asking our friends and family to pray for while we go through this tough time.
1. That the stress and worries of the unknown will not overcome us and take us down.
2. That the surgery will not affect the bladder at all. His bladder is finally at a normal size and has low pressure which has caused a great deal of relief and accomplishments for him.
The doctors say that there is no real way to know what will happen to the bladder after surgery. It could stay strong or it could get weak. This is a much bigger deal than I can explain in a blog. If you would like more details on how to pray for this one, just ask.
3. That in spite of spending the whole Summer recovering from Major Surgery, he won't miss out on Summer activities. That he will get to have a some Summer before having to go back in for his Orthopedic Surgery.
4.That his recovery in the hospital will go by quickly due to the fun that nurses and other hospital personnel bring to the patients and that he would not be in pain while recovering.
5.For his brother and his sister: His brother is very close to him and is also very scared of loosing his best friend. He is only 8yrs old so it is difficult for him to express to us exactly what he is thinking and feeling. His sister is much younger and doesn't even really know what is going on. Please pray that they don't feel less loved, left out, or any other kind feelings that could come from their parents giving their brother so much attention.
6. That our trip to Disney in late May, will be so memorable for him and his brother and sister and all of us as a family. That this trip will be more memorable to him in the future than the surgery that comes after it.
Thanks for all of your prayers, and support.
