Please pray

Blogging goes against all my privacy-preserving instincts but I agreed to allow (yup, I'm the boss here) this blog because we wanted to keep you informed about how Drew is doing. Both because we know you love him, and because we know that many of you will pray for him and we believe that God will hear those prayers.

And we need your prayers this weekend. Drew is scheduled to be admitted to the Pediatric ICU at Children's tomorrow evening. He will have a repeat sleep study on Saturday night, a repeat feeding study on Monday afternoon and see several specialists in between.

Specifically, please pray:
  • That this will go ahead as scheduled as it depends on space being available in the ICU
  • That the tests will be informative and give the Drs new ideas for diagnosis and management.
  • That the feeding study will show that it is safe for Drew to eat normally. This is a big deal. If Drew still shows significant aspiration into his lungs he will probably need a G-tube inserted into his stomach to receive his feeds (the NG tube in his nose is not a long-term solution). If things look good we can hopefully go back to breastfeeding and bottles. If things are kind of in between, we will have to make tough decisions about balancing benefits with risks to his long term health.
  • That Drew will be completely healed.
So...
If you pray, please do and ask your friends to pray too.
If you don't pray, start. Even if you don't know who God is, he knows who you are.


Here is a pic of Drew's day with the cousins. Can't you just feel the love?

You know that my prayers are with both of you and Drew. I place him in God's hands and know that He will look after him. God bless you all esp at this time. May there be more enlightenment for all.
