Surgery Scheduled... :(

SURGERY AGAIN!!!! Current mood: bummed
Well It looks like we are going to have surgery AGAIN, this will be Joshua's 3rd GUT surgery an 4th surgery total... :( Why oh why??!!!
We found out on Monday that Joshua was going to have extensive testing done on Tuesday; which he did, we were in testing from 8am Tues. morn till 4am Wed. morn. We were waiting on the results till midnight last night and then I got the call... the one you dread and think your going to die if you get it!! They think he has a stricture that isn't allowing his food to go through the small intestines; this requires another surgery to remove the intestines where the stricture is.........
I have been at the hospital all day today just waiting to talk to the surgeon about what exactly they found and what their plan is. The surgeon has been in surgery all day and I have been told that he will come talk to me sometime between 10pm-12pm tonight- remind you, i haven't talked to him since I got a call at Midnight last night!! I am slowly starting to go crazy knowing my baby is having surgery and I don't know the details..................I can't explain the tension going on in my body; I didn't think this would be bareable for a mother to handle, but the Lord keeps surprising me with His Strength and His Patience!!! I still walk in the flesh with frustration and dissapointment, but I put my sight on the Father and He keeps me Steadfast and Strong!!! It is amazing and a complete Miracle I think!!! So, thank you for all your prayers!!! Now we just need another surgery to go well and a quick recovery.
They are moving Joshua back to the NICU tonight (he has been in the NPCU for the last 3 weeks). Then, in the morning sometime they will send him down to OR and then he will recovery in the NICU until he is stable- then he will be moved back to NPCU(Newborn Progressive Care Unit). We are praying that Joshua will recover so fast that he will be back in NPCU by next week!!!!! Please pray with us for that!!!!!!!
Once he is back there the plan is to start feeds again, and hopefully this time work on going home FOR REAL!!!!!!!! :) I JUST CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!
Ok, so here is my MOTHER'S CRY for prayer again for my little Joshua Ryan who is now 10weeks old and weighing 6+lbs!!!!
I posted some new cute pictures of him in my "Baby Joshua" & "Christmas 2007" photo album's - go check them out and leave him some LOVE!
HE IS JUST THE CUTEST NEWBORN PREEMIE EVER???!!!!!! He looks so healthy to me he doesn't even look like a "normal preemie."- PRAISE THE LORD FOR SUCH A GIFT!!!! OUR LITTLE ANGEL BABY!!!!!!!!
