Greetings.
Today is Jonas's third, and hopefully final, surgery. He is having a second hernia repair surgery today. The same surgeon that performed his hernia on the other side is operating on him today. Last night, in the late evening, Jonas was taken back down to the Nicu as a preparation for surgery. His feeds were stopped and he was placed on an IV. This is all common practice for surgery. Later this morning he will go in to surgery and we pray that it will be a successful and swift procedure.
Mari will be at the hospital to go with him from the Nicu and ride the elevator up to the operating level. I plan on meeting Mari in the waiting room for surgeries. Our surgeon is a really patient and a complete pro. At the last surgery, which was done under much more stressful circumstances, he was a true calming presence for Mari and I as he explained the procedure, possible outcomes, and his game plan.
We have a couple more hours to wait. Given that we have had several months to wait for our babies, it may seem like these couple of hours are nothing in comparison. However, it is in these real specific waiting periods...ie...a test result, a surgery, a phone call from the hospital...that we are a little more anxious than usual. We pray for God to guide the surgeon's hands and heart today.
Thank you for all your support.
God Bless,
Mari & Elsa & Dan & Jonas!
