More prayers for my 'baby' boy please!

16 years ago

He has developed DVT's in both legs and will have surgery tomorrow at 3PM to remove them.I don't know exactly what they do but I do know they go in behind the knee.I am really worried about him.They are also having trouble getting a line in.He was admitted at 5 this afternoon and at 10 PM they still hadn't been able to do that.

Prayers and good thoughts will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

I will surely keep him in my prayers, lilliepad. I know you're terribly worried but I'll bet he's in good hands. Will you keep us updated?

Prayers answered! My granddaughter just called and said that the surgery went well. He is in recovery and then will be kept overnight. They only did one part of the surgery and if all is well they will do the second in two weeks. They live in Missouri, and I want to much to be able to jump in the car and go see them.I haven't even been able to hold that baby yet. Jim had cataract surgery the past two weeks and finished his 15th radiation yesterday. Tomorrow we will see the Oncologist and see what comes next. Again, thank you to you Prayer Warriors.

Blue/Chocolate bedding for sure! Would love that with something like the airplane wall decoration in pic #1 Look around at your other stores for accessories that maybe aren't just "airplaney" Bringing a "pig" piggy bank in with mostly the same colors but maybe one "new" color will all some eclectic look. Check etsy to some wall decals that may give you an idea of what to put on the wall or other things that you may want to incorporate. You can order those or paint something like them...My mother suggested we paint a tree on an empty wall in my baby girls room, so I went on Etsy, and have a tree, some birds, squirrels, nuts, etc. that my parents painted based off the decal. For something else on the walls, I would love to see some basic frames with shapes or letters in a boyish colored plaid inside them. Or maybe check Target for some wall decor "words" in boyish prints/plaids...above my babies crib is "Dream, Dance, LAugh" in girl prints. I put one in the middle on the top row and the other 2 on the bottom row. I thought it would be a lot of words, but love it. I also got one of those book shelves that hang on the wall from Target, but have seen them at PB or landofnod. Pick some books to display in their that coordinate with your colors but don't have airplanes...this will give you a picture that isn't out of place but helps with the overly matchy. A basket of baby blankets or burp blankets will add more pattern and texture to the room. Don't forget Hobby Lobby!

My thoughts and prayers are with your family. At this point, only surgeons, anaesthetists and very experienced nurses should be allowed to even try to start a line on your son. I bet he feels like a pin cushion right about now.

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.
