Prayer Request

Last night, we again had difficulty "cathing" Jacob. This morning, we took him to the ER to see the Urologist on call. He was able to get it to work, but it was not nearly as smooth as it was a couple of days ago. We even tried using a smaller catheter, which helped a little, but it was still difficult and very uncomfortable for Jacob. So, the doctor put a catheter in to stay until Monday afternoon, when we will see Dr. Gearhart at his clinic.

We don't anticipate having to extend our stay at this point (we hope to leave Tuesday), but we do ask that you pray that the doctors will find a good solution to these challenges we've been having with the catheter. In addition, we also have to "probe" his stoma once or twice a day to help keep skin from growing around it. We discovered this yesterday when we had a clinical visit with the General Pediatric Surgery team.

Praise the Lord, for His love and faithfulness endure forever.
