Prayer Requests and update

We'd like to request prayer for Jacob today. One of his kidney stints is not flushing very well. In addition, he has complained of some pain in that area. Ultimately, the doctors want the pee to stop coming through the stints and only come through the SP tube (directly from the bladder). The stints continue to produce some urine, so please pray that everything will start to come through the SP only.

Lastly, there is a scab near the continence stoma that has become a bit of a concern. Mommy has been soaking it since Tuesday in the hopes that it will fall off well before the 16th. However, it seems to be kind of tangled up with a few stitches and doesn't want to come off.

As of today, the plan is to continue flushing and maintaining the SP tube from his bladder and the two kidney stints until the 16th. At that time, Dr G plans to remove the two stents and "activate" the continece stoma (begin cathing). Please pray that everything will stay on schedule and that these areas of concern will resolve quickly.

The Lord, He is God. Blessed be the Name of the Lord.

Mommy and Daddy
