The surgeons were able to work Alexis into the schedule today to have her G-tube put in! This is an answer to prayer but more prayer requests come with it. She will have to be intubated for this procedure so we are praying that she does not have any issues with it. They are going to attempt the less-invasive procedure for her G-tube insertion but if it is not successful, they will have to stop the surgery and re-schedule her for the more-invasive one.
Specific prayer requests for this afternoons procedure:
1. That the surgeons will be able to perform a successful surgery with the less-invasive proceedure and will not have to put her through the more invasive one in the future!
2. That the intubation will not cause her any problems.
3. That Alexis will have a quick recovery from this surgery.
4. That the G-tube will function as it needs to without any problems.

We are praying that the g-tube procedure goes well, Alexis. I know how much you want to be home for Christmas. I spent a Christmas in the hospital with my dad(heart attack)/family about 25 years ago. Not exactly where you want to spend Christmas, but the blessing is in the precious moments that you all get to share together as a family. We will pray for special blessings especially on Christmas for you and your family! Ellen and Meredy
