Surgery

Conner's surgery went well...he was in 6 hours. It was so sad to see him, I feel bad that he has to endure this. We are happy everything went well though. They said the first 24-48 hours are critical so please continue to keep him in your prayers, we have felt them thus far. We can't say thank you enough. We will post more details about the surgery later, sleep is calling our names...

Thanks for the update. We will send prayers of comfort for little Conner. Hopefully the doctors are able to manage his pain effectively. It's too bad they don't have something to manage your heartbreak as you watch him. I'm sure he can feel your presence and love and that comforts him. We continue to pray for you. Blog the details when you get a chance (I'll try to be patient).

Glad to hear that everything went well. It is the hardest thing seeing our babies like this...such a helpless feeling. Just remember that he has to endure this to be able to come home and he'll never remember it although it will be etched in your mind for the rest of your life. He is a little blessing and may you both get some much needed rest. Praying!!!
Love,
Katie

I checked your blog before I went to work this morning and then I called Connie on my break to see how Conner was doing. I'm so thankful the surgery went well. I have a prayer in my heart for him all the time and for the Dr.s. I hope you two can get some rest and feel at peace. He's a fighter, that's for sure! Love you all!

Oh Sariah, I am so glad to hear the news! My students are interested to hear how Conner is doing because I first checked the blog in class and started to cry--they all wanted to know why. So we are all thinking of you and the family and they are amazed at how resilient babies are. Keep up the happy thoughts and I am sending them your way! What a wonderful Christmas present to have the upturn of events!

Sweet Baby! We are still praying for you all.

sobering picture.... just a few weeks old and already a 6 hour surgery. Thank goodness he'll remember absolutely zero of this. He'll just have some scars to remind him of his miraculous past and pictures to prove the tender mercies of the Lord.
