Sunday Update

Preston's external shunt fell out this a.m. about 9. The dr. on for the weekend, a partner of his neurosurgeon, didn't want to do surgery today to replace it and then do surgery again tomorrow. So the fluid (some of it) is running out the hole where the external one was, and out through the incision. But not enough is coming out, as he is getting aggressive now, and hopefully will go to sleep and we can make it until a.m. His surgery has been moved up to 9:45, thank the Lord. The sooner the better! From what the dr. said to Junior this a.m., they are putting an external one back in and also trying to fix or replace the internal one.



This a.m. I was so blessed by going to church. Missie and I went, and Bro. John Parker preached a sermon I needed to hear, and what a blessing it was. Missie really loved his preaching, too. I thanked him and told him I needed that, and he said to pass it on to his buddy, Preston. It was about God being in every circumstance, and not losing faith when we go through the hard times. I was soooo low in my faith, but that sermon really helped me. Missie and I both needed it. I wish Junior could have heard it too.



We are just hoping this surgery tomorrow works and soon we can go home.



Missie's 13th birthday is Wed. and she is very sad. But her grandparents are coming on Wed. and bringing her a cake, etc., and I have a few gifts I snuck over here for her. When we all get straightened out, I hope to do something special for her 13th birthday. This is a big time in a little girl's life, to become a teenager. She was so hoping Preston would be out by then, but I have my doubts.



Will try and update tomorrow after surgery.



Thanks for all of the prayers and please keep them coming
