Surgery

The dreaded word.....Surgery.  It's here.  He has been home almost 5 months, but it still seems to soon.  Are you ever really though.  I mean we have done this before.  This exact surgery before (well close as Owen's is a unilateral), but I think that almost makes it worse b/c I know what is coming.

We are dropping Konnor off with my Mom and headed to St. Louis tonight.  We have to be at the hospital at 545 for a 7 am surgery.  We have some specific prayer requests:

1)  Our healthcare workers.  We pray for clarity, wisdom and steady hands.

2) Health and Healing for Owen.  Both physically and emotionally.  This will be his 4th hospitalization in his short life, his 3rd surgery in 12 months and the first time he has ever had a Mama and Papa at his side.

3) Due to our still emerging bond we are asking that Anesthesia allow me to do a parental induction.  Please pray that we get providers that are willing to listen to our concerns in this area.  (they never allowed me to do this with Konnor).

4) Say a prayer for Konnor.  He is not used to being away from us and usually doesn't do well for more than one night.  This will be at least 2 nights with us gone.

Thank you
