Procedure time!

At 8 am the doctors took Samuel fur his procedure...it normally takes about two hours....well keep you posted...

Friday morning

We got a call this morning that his procedure could happen as early as 8 am.   Please pray that this happens and for all involved!

Update - correction

The procedure will open his pulmonary valve, not his artery.  Still praying that they work him in tomorrow...

On call

Samuel is currently "on call" for his procedure tomorrow. Simply put, if they are able to fit him in the schedule then they will. If not, his procedure will be Monday. Currently not all the resources needed are available.

Since the doctor is not rushing them in that is a good sign but we are praying reverently that God will arrange the schedule tomorrow so that Samuel can join us. We ask that you join us in that.

Even more, we are praying for a  miraculous owning of his pulmonary artery so that a procedure is not required.

Thank you,

Bob & Laurel

Thursday morning update

Samuel had a great night of rest and is doing well this morning. He is being taken great care of here.

Pulmonary stenosis

Samuel has been safely transported to the UVA Medical center in Charlottesville, VA and is currently being treated in the NICU here and is in the their very capable hands.

The doctors have been very informative and are explaining things as we go along.  They have looked over Samuel from head to toe and found nothing else to give them concern.  Currently they are working on a plan and timeline for treatment for correcting this.

More information will be shared as we know more.  Thank you to everyone for your support and prayers - they mean more than words can share.

Thank you all,
Bob & Laurel
