Since the last update, Connor has had another surgery (hernias) and may be headed for another. He continues to grow (8lbs. 9oz.) but is so far unable to tolerate full feedings, leading the doctors to think there may be a blockage somewhere although they cannot detect anything from any tests done so far (upper and lower GI’s). Next Monday, 1/11/10, he will have a barium enema test to try to determine if and/or where the problem is.
Many of you have asked why the blog has not been updated. I think the answer is that discouragement has begun to set in. It has been a long 4 months. Please pray:
- For wisdom for the doctors, that the Lord will show them what the problem is and how to fix it quickly.
- For Connor to be able to tolerate full feedings AND be able to take a full bottle very soon, so that he can come home.
- For Kevin and Sara, that they will grow in faith, wisdom, unity, and maturity.
- Against a spirit of despair for the whole family.
It is not to be imagined that He who has helped us in 6 troubles will leave us in the 7th. God does nothing by halves, and He will never cease to help us until we cease to need. The manna shall fall every morning until we cross the Jordan. -C.H. Spurgeon on Psalm 4:1:
Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.
Love,
Grandma Kim
