Surgery Today

Ira went into surgery at 11:15am this morning...

As with everything there are positives and negatives for Ira to have a tracheostomy. There are numerous negatives the biggest one being the opportunity for an infection entering straight into the lungs from the trach. But the one positive in this is that Joe and Laura will get to end the 62 days (and counting) of not getting to hold Ira. I am sure they won't be able to hold him right away, but they will be able to do so soon after he is stable from the surgery.

Joe asked me to link to something Mike Cope wrote about on his blog today. Mike quotes Edward Fudge concerning healing, and his words are some of the most powerful and true I have ever heard on the topic. Take a few moments to check them out (Click Here).

Praying all goes well. Keep going Ira! We all love you and want you to be able to sleep in your mommy and daddy's arms soon. Till then breathe in God's peace and hopefully by today or tomorrow, you will be where you are longing to be, held and cuddled by those who care about you the most.

God, bless the hands of the surgeons working with Ira today. Please help the nurses who are monitoring and caring for Ira as well. Give his family peace knowing full well you are ultimately in control of everything. You are God. Heal this little boy. Let him be a light to your people in everyway, shape and form. Thank you for his continued life and even though we do not understand why, continue to lead us and guide us. Thank you God for your continued blessings on this family.
In JESUS' name.
Amen.

We are praying and thinking of Ira and your family throughout each and every day.

May God's blessings and love and peace wrap around all of you. And May God's hands guide the doctor's hands as they tend to Ira.

Praying without ceasing...
