Jaden's CP Brain Shunt Stay / Update

Jaden's Neuro Surgeon came in last night and said that we needed to bring Jaden home to recover since he hadn't had anymore IV morphine. Urine, sats, heart rate, and blood pressure was all stable. The risk of him catching something on top of this major brain surgery would be life threatening. He is extremely weak but we are home. PRAISE THE LORD!!! We go back the day before Thanksgiving to have all of his stitches removed.

Jaden slept pretty good through the night and is acting more and more like his self. He is Still so weak. He can only stand to be out of bed about 15 minutes.

We thank everyone so much for all their daily prayers and especially through this last surgery.

We are very thankful and so blessed that the Lord has carried us through yet another mighty storm and now we are on the other side of this. Just trusting in him for a full recovery without any complications and that this is and will be the last surgery ever....As Thanksgiving draws near, James and I were praying so hard we would be home for this great Holiday and it's just only 4 days after his surgery we got to come home...Praise the Lord..We are clinging to this verse

In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you

I Thessalonians 5:18

Surgery #15

Just made the first incision at 11:50...Took awhile to get IV lines placed.....Please continue to pray for our baby, it's so hard being so far away from him......

In Our Time Of Trouble...

As James and I pray, we find that the Lords incomparable peace overshadows all of our worries and fears. So thankful He's our Hiding Place and when we call upon Him in truth He's our Song of Deliverance. No matter how bleak things seem we know that He'll never let the righteous fall...
