Surgery Tomorrow

Well, the day has come for Ethan's last surgery (at least we pray it is his last for a good long time). His cranial surgery is tomorrow, November 17th at 10am. The surgery will be a little tricky for the surgeon as it is normally performed with the patient facing down for the surgery. But due to Ethan's fragile heart and sternum, they need to do it while he is on his back. We pray that the surgeon (Dr. Luerrson) will be able to reach and see all he needs to so we don't have to go back into the operating room in the next couple months. So that is one prayer request. The other is that the helmet Ethan will wear for the next few months after surgery will heal him correctly so he will not need any further surgeries on his head in the coming years. This is one thing we would love to get over with and not have to revisit...ever. But this is Ethan Harmon and he likes to do things the hard way sometimes. So we will see and all kidding aside, we know that God is in control of all of this and His will be done.

I will update tomorrow when I hear something. This surgery should not be as long as the heart surgeries and less risky in that he won't be going on bypass. But is still cranial surgery and there is usually alot of bleeding because it is such vascular tissue. Thank you, friends, for your continued prayer and encouragement for the last 2 months. It really is what is helping us get through this time.

In Him, h
