Baby/surgery/need more prayers

18 years ago

DS called this morning and they are taking Rowdy to Lubbock this evening for surgery on his bowel.Please pray for him.I'm praying that this will all pass and he won't need the surgery but it looks like that isn't happening,short of a Miracle,and that could happen too! Anyway,prayers will be appreciated.Thanks a million!

I'm praying for little Rowdy, here.

My cousin, 45 years ago, had to have a section of his bowel removed at age 3 days. I don't remember why.

He came through the surgery fine, and grew into a fine, strong baby, child, and man. He's never had another bowel problem.

I'm certain Rowdy will live up to his name.

((((Prayers for Rowdy and his entire family.)

Absolutely miraculous!!! What a change.....and he has a smile!! I studied speech therapy in college ( before getting my Mrs.!) And one of the things we learned was how to teach children who had cleft palates to speak. The surgery that AJ had was not perfected. I knew 2 men who had un corrected clefts, they were limited to professions where their inability to speak clearly and to eat in public was not an issue. AJ is a miracle baby!! By the time he is a teen, this will be just a memory, remembered by a faint scar on his lip!

More Prayers Needed Please

Thank you so much for your prayers. I am not sure if Mike will be in rehab or not. I want so much to be there for him,but Jim will probably be starting radiation next week.We saw the Radiologist this afternoon and she says that it is good that Jim is not having pain in his hip.A lot of people wait until they are in pain and by that time the tumor is eating into the bone and he could have a broken hip or leg.Luckily they have been monitoring him all this time,so she thinks that things will go well. Mike doesn't have a tumor,it is several discs and a lot of nerve damage.Again, thank you for your prayers.They mean a lot to me.

Thank you all and please keep them coming! She is still in the hospital, and they may keep her for the next four months, but the prayers are working!!!! They took her off the IV yesterday, pain is back to a 2 and she is HUNGRY! That's a good thing. The dr was worried that the baby hadn't grown in the past week, but she told the dr what do you expect when I haven't eaten hardly anything? In the local hospital, before they transfered her to where her high risk dr is, they were only letting her have broth and jello. I was so thankful late last night when I got the email with updated info. I knew all the prayers from all of you were helping. Again, thanks and please continue the prayers. Tami

Surgery is set for 3PM but you know hospital time,could mean in half an hour or later this evening or even actually 3PM! I just talked to DDIL and they did access the port that was left in after his chemo.They were suppose to remove that when they did the last surgery but left it "just in case".Thank the Lord for that! DDIL said he is drugged up right now but really scared about the surgery.I think my other son is going up to sit with him in a little bit which I think will help.I can't go right now because there's nobody to stay with the kids. Granlan-He actually is my youngest and even though he is 33 he still is the baby.He was telling his sisters the other day ,"I'm the baby,gotta love me."LOL Again,I can't thank all of you enough for the prayers.I know there is power in prayer and there are some powerful prayer warriors here! I will keep all of you updated.

Thanks for all the prayers.They are working!They flew him to Lubbock this afternoon.He does have an obstruction but it isn't as bad as the thought it might be.It is only a partial one and they will do Laparoscopic surgery tomorrow afternoon and fix it.Mom has known the doctor that is doing it for a long time and has complete trust in her so she is feeling better about everything.I'll keep everyone updated.
