David's Surgery Successful


6:30 p.m.


Ginny King called with a report on David while she and Susan were in the recovery room together with David at Vanderbilt Children's Hospital (Ginny is a friend of Susan's who just completed her nursing degree and is now working at the hospital). John came up to visit for a little while, but he had to leave early to go study for his tests tomorrow. Please pray that his exams go well.

David came out of surgery at around 3:30 p.m. Everything went well.

They found two hernias and repaired them both. He came off the ventilator great in O.R. even before they pulled him out to recovery. Mom's been holding him the whole time.

David has taken some fluids already in the form of Pedialyte. Please pray that he's able to maintain the fluids.

He's on zero oxygen right now. He's holding his oxygen levels great on his own with no support at all, not even a nasal canula.

Please pray that the night goes smoothly with no dips in his vitals. Pray that he maintains his own oxygen all night on his own.

At 6:30 they wanted us to pray for them to get a room soon since they were still waiting on one. I don't know if they're in a room now or not. I guess it never hurts to pray retro-active prayers. :0)

6:45 p.m.

Susan called with an addendum to the report:

David was put on a nasal canula for a little while because his stats were on the low side. Please pray that he gets off oxygen as soon as possible but not sooner than he can handle it.

Thank you!
