On the road again.....

Tammy and Elijah left this afternoon for Minnesota. Due to a scheduling conflict next week, Dr. Hess could not do the dilitation, so we went ahead and scheduled it for tomorrow afternoon. It will occur around 3pm. They should be able to leave on Thursday and are going to try and drive straight through.

The 'big' thing at this point is from the visit to the pediatrician yesterday. Everything looks good, except she is concerned he has craniostenosis, which is the sutures in the skull closing up prematurely. If that is the case, then he will have to have another, major surgery to open them up to allow his head and brain to grow. There is an excellent pediatric neurosurgeon that we are scheduled to see next Wednesday. He will likely get a CT scan and then we will see him after that. At this point, we would ask everyone to pray specifically that he does not have it and that he does not need surgery, especially this major one. We know he is in God's hands and we know God hears the pleas and petitions of His people. So please, over the next week, offer up a prayer to God that his head is okay and that he will not have to have surgery.

He is doing very well at home. We are so excited to be here and are glad things are settling down, somewhat. He is managing his secretions better and is eating better by mouth. God is blessing us and we know we are in His care. Until next time....

God Bless....
