Things are moving really fast, which I guess we are thankful for but the doctors have already looked at him today and determined that he needs the surgery (BT Shunt) today. They don't want to wait any longer because they know he is still in good shape and they don't want him to turn south quickly. He has been on more oxygen over the past day, but was still continuing to have good enough SATs.
Dr. Jaggers will be performing the surgery. Please pray that God steadies his hand through this procedure. While our initial reaction is out of fairness and why this has to happen to him when he is barely a week old we know that God's plan and purpose is far greater than the negative aspects of this situation. Please also pray that Allison and I can be comforted and confident about this procedure and that little Landon can heal quickly and come home with mommy and daddy soon.
I wish I had time to write more... but I will leave you with this thought from God...
Romans 12:2 - Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will.
We will post an update once his surgery is finished. Thanks for you continued support and prayers.
We'll be praying here in NC! You two try to get a little rest or even sleep while the surgery is going on so you can devote your time and energy to him once you get to see him again this afternoon.
