Please Pray

Hey! Today Elijah had his bronchoscopy and here is what we found out: essentially he has a bulge in the back of his esophagus near the connection sight and one in front from his aorta pressing on his trachea. Therefore, there is something pressing on both his front and back portion of his trachea when he tries to breath on his own, which leads to failed extubation. Now the ENT and Dr. Hess will talk and decide a plan for him. The two options that have been presented to us are a tracheostomy or aortapexy (stitching his aorta to his sternum away from trachea). Please pray that we can seek God's guidance in making the best decision for him and what will glorify God. That is our goal in this entire situation to praise our heavenly father no matter what happens. We will find out tommorrow if there is a leak in his esophagus so continue to pray it has closed off. This has definately been emotionally and a test of our faith. I can see how God has used this to strenghten our faith in him and I praise him for that everyday. We give him praise that we have an answer and it is something related to his EA and not something brand new. Thanks for your prayers. We love you all.
