Alexander Update
Here is what we know so far. First of all the surgery he had yesterday morning was because he had a loop in his intestine. The Cardiologist saw him and found that he had two holes in his heart, a valve that is too small and the main artery is too small and may not be connected. They are flying Marsha and Alexander out of Boise to Primary Children's Hospital today at 3:30. Colby is already on his way there as it will take him 5 hours to get there. He has the other 4 kids with him. They will be staying at the Ronald McDonald House. Once the baby has recovered from the intestine surgery they will do open heart surgery to fix the other problems. The cardiologist says that the problems are fixable we just don't know what his limitations will be. We appreciate the prayers, please keep 'em comin'! I will update when I know more. Check back often!

Thank goodness for the Ronald McDonald house! I have known a few people who it has been such a blessing to. I'll continue to keep them all in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteAgain, they will continue to be in my heart and prayers. I'm only about 1/2 hr away from SLC so if they need ANYTHING!!!! please let them know that I am willing to help them with whatever- take the kids for awhile- fix them a meal...really whatever! One of my nieces has spent spent about 1 month at PCMC and another niece a week or so, so I know how tiresome and stressful that can be for the family. So please let them know if there is anything I can do! Give my love to Colby and Marsha and their little fam!
ReplyDeleteActually, if you can actually believe this... I just got word that my niece is there again. So it looks like I will be at PCMC myself. Keep us in your prayers too!
