Ethan's Next Surgery

Hard to believe that my little baby is already 14 weeks old! Time has gone so fast. He's fast becoming one of those babies that smiles all the time! His smile is infectious and always makes me happy no matter what! With that being said, what doesn't make me happy, is that Ethan has to have surgery again. His first surgery that he had the end of February didn't fix the problem he's having. It's basically like the surgery didn't even make a difference. That's frustrating, because you never want to see your child go through pain. The Urologist is going to be doing a different procedure, a little more invasive this time. We are hoping and praying that this is the only surgery that he's going to need.

His surgery is scheduled for Wednesday, May 12. We won't know the time until the day before, but most likely in the early afternoon. We also won't know if he'll have to stay overnight or not until after the surgery. Since he was "premature" (2 weeks early), they've scheduled it as an overnight stay. BUT, he's also quite "healthy" at almost 16 pounds! Hopefully that means he'll be ok to go home after surgery. Please pray with us that that is the case. My cousin Sarah will be coming up from Maysville to watch Eli while we are at the surgery. Eli is so excited to see cousin Sarah and spend the day with her. If she only knew what she was getting herself into :-) We are so appreciative for our family and they help they are giving us during this time!

My heart hurts that Ethan has to have surgery again and that he has to have pain. I pray that this procedure works and that he will recover quickly and that the problem will be solved!

I will keep you updated on the outcome! Thank you all for your prayers in advance!
