Nub Under The Knife

November 29th, 2009

Hey all,

My 4 year old, Nub, (who also has Down Syndrome) is having a hernia surgery Monday morning and I sure would appreciate your prayers. This is a complication from his open-heart surgery when he was 1 year old that saved his life.

It’s supposed to be out-patient surgery and No Big Deal, but as a parent you always worry. It’s in God’s hands! Ora pro nobis.

Thanks,

Nod

UPDATE: Surgery was quick (45 minutes) with a fast recovery (1 hour as opposed to 2). We left the hospital around 10:30 am. He was walking around and playing almost normally until a little while ago when the numbing agent given during surgery wore off. Now he is getting a little fussy. Tylenol is all he is cleared to have. We expect him to be cranky the rest of the day. Total recovery in about two weeks.

He is currently at his normal post looking out the window, playing his musical caterpillar.  Thanks for all your prayers.

    We will say a prayer for him. One of our friends also has a Down's child who had to have heart surgery. It went very easily. I pray yours will too!
