Last post for today...
We're exhausted. When I wrote we'd learn "more", I had an inkling but the reality was draining.
Just got back from the hospital at 6pm. Teo was a little too woozy from the sedative for the echo and we stayed to see how well he bounced back. We were all ready to be admitted but his oxygen levels started to come back up and stabilize as we neared five-and-a-half hours past the sedative dose.
So, surgery is scheduled for 7:20 am tomorrow.
Among all the others we met today, we met Teo's surgeon and he was quite wonderful. This is serious surgery. Of that we have no doubt (if we ever did). But now we are more certain than ever. It will probably be 3-4 hours of actual surgery but he may be away from us for up to 7 hours and we're not supposed to worry.
Please send you prayers, thoughts and good will our way - For Teo to be strong. For surgery to be uncomplicated. For the team of doctors and nurses. For us to not fear.
Good night.
We all prayed tonight as a family and will continue to pray through the day tomorrow. Love you guys.
ReplyDeletePsalm 91
1 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress,my God, in whom I trust.”
3 Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence.
4 He will cover you with his feathers,and under his wings you will find refuge;his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
5 You will not fear the terror of night,nor the arrow that flies by day,
6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,nor the plague that destroys at midday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side,ten thousand at your right hand,but it will not come near you.
8 You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked.
9 If you say, “The LORD is my refuge,” and you make the Most High your dwelling,
10 no harm will overtake you,no disaster will come near your tent.
11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;
12 they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread on the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
14 “Because he loves me,” says the LORD, “I will rescue him;I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
15 He will call on me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.”
