IT'S TIME...

I received a call from the pediatric cardiologist this morning....it's time for surgery!! Apparently Caleb had a bad "spell" at some point during the night, enough that his oxygen was so low they had to bag him. The cardiologist said he was doing fine at the point he was calling, but that surgery was basically necessary at this point. He was not going to be able to come home with out it!! So, we are waiting for the call from a surgeon to tell us when surgery will be. The cardiologist said it will hopefully be this afternoon sometime. We are certainly hoping so...we are worried their schedule is full and we are going to have to wait another day or two...here's hoping we won't have to! We covet your prayers today for our precious boy!! It is going to be a long day...

  1. Congratulations on your new baby! My thoughts are with you and little Caleb today, and hoping all goes smoothly. My daughter, Samantha, had surgery to repair a complete AV canal when she was 4 months old. Feel free to e-mail me any time. I'll look forward to seeing updates.

  3. Joanna and John,
    Your family has come so far along this arduous journey. I know the roller coaster of Caleb's care is wearing you out, so I am praying for God's sustaining hand to lift you while you sit in waiting rooms, wait for cardiologists to call, wait for test results, wait, wait, wait...

    I'm waiting with you in expectancy.
    Love, Erin
