Friday, December 19

Today was, unfortunately, a very slow day. Neither the GI specialist nor the Cardiac Anesthesiologist were able to talk directly to me due to them being in surgery all day. We have decided to try the least invasive procedure first and then, if this does not work, have the surgery done. However, there still remains the complication of anesthesia. I remained at the hospital until late Friday night, but was not able to get any answers (things tend to "shut down" on the weekends). So, we will be pushing very hard on Monday for some answers to our questions in hopes of getting Lexi's G-tube put in next week.

Specific Prayer Requests:
Please pray for our frustration level. As the holiday draws near, the operating rooms are actually extremely busy with people wanting to get elective procedures done and others (like us) wanting to get their children home. It has been difficult to even find time to speak with the surgeons to get answers. We were hoping to have Lexi home for Thanksgiving, and now it doesn't appear we will even have her home for Christmas. This is obviously extremely disappointing to our entire family...
