Payers for my wife

I have some mixed news to share

Let's start with the positive first
My wife's surgeons found what was causing all the pain. A previous hernia repair from 3 months ago tore open. That's been fixed and she's just come out of recovery.

My son was born at 9:11 this morning and is a C-Pap machine to help with his berating but looks to be stable for the moment. They are doing chest X-rays and will then decide if they need to move him to a bigger hospital on a precautionary basis.

So, there I was, sitting outside the operating room waiting to meet my son when a Code Blue alarm sounded for my wife's operating room. Every doctor in the hospital went running into the room. My heart stopped as did the whole world for that matter. My excitement turned to absolute distress as I thought that we had lost our boy.

He's got a few long days ahead of him, but he's a fighter!!

My son was transferred to an intensive care facility at a larger hospital. He's strong and showing all the right signs of a strong recovery in a week or so.

Thanks brothers. It's a new day and late last night was a night of reflection of the day. Wow, what a ride of emotions and I'm feeling like they went 10 rounds in a ring with mike Tyson.

In your reflecting, meditate on a couple passages if you wish:
"John 14:27 - Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."
"Philippians 4:11-12 - I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want."

Keep looking up and keep strong for your wife and new son. Cherish the good news and let that fuel you as you all embark on recovery.

Hi brothers, my son was taken off his breathing tube at 3pm yesterday and put onto C-Pap and he responded well. Once the tube came out he let ALL of the other Bubs and nurses in ICU know that he was there.

At 6am today he came of C-Pap and is doing good so far with no assistance at all. If he continues to stay strong over the next 4-6 hours he may be able to be transferred back to mums hospital today.

My wife is still in bad shape and if you could with pain and movement. So please keep both of them in your prayers.

Thanks brothers.

My boy was taken off C-Pap only after 15 hours and he's doing it all by himself. All the tubes are out and I even got to give him his very first feed. They want to keep him here for another 18 hours and will send him back to his mums hospital.

Mum may be able to get a short 3 hr pass to leave her hospital to come and have the first cuddles before going back to her hospital. I was asked if I wanted first cuddles but I'm saving that for mum.

Calens stay at the Mercy has been extended for a few more days as they wean him off the morphine that my wife had to take for the 3 days prior to her op.. Mind you, 3 days of morphine gave the steroids a chance to work on his lungs and thus saving Calen weeks in ICU. 3 days in ICU with only 15 hours with the breathing tube is far better than weeks! Its much better for Calen to wean off the morph, than be hooked up to machines to keep him alive.

The heat is the biggest factor today in preventing Lana from leaving the hospital again to go and see him. So I've made a few calls, put plans into action and I'll pick her up around 8pm tonight and take her to see our bubby boy. Its far better to do it after the cool change starts to move in as a 30F drop in temp will make the world of difference. Right now its 104F and is set to be 114F within a few hours.
