Update and Praise

Jacob just now came out of the procedure (scope) and Dr. Gearhart advised that the problem appears to be the result of some swelling in his bladder neck. He does not think it will be a long term issue and he inserted a catheter into his urethra to promote draining in that area. They then plugged up the main catheter tube that they had been using to drain his bladder up to this point.

The plan now will be for Dr. G to, if necessary, perform another scope next week after the pins and fixator are removed. He noted that he can't lift Jacob's legs up to get a "better" view now, but will be able to do so once the pins are out. The procedure itself didn't take more than about five minutes and Jacob is now in the recovery room.

Thanks to everyone out there who prayed for Jacob during this time and really to all who have lifted him up at prayer during the past eight weeks. Please rejoice with us that the procedure went well and it appears to be something that will correct itself over time.

To God be the Glory.
