Prayer for Poop!

Dear God, I know i have been asking you for a lot of help lately, but please help our little David poop soon. He needs to poop so he doesn't end up with a perforated intestine. So, as you can see God, this is a major deal, and we need you to bless David with a good poop soon. Also, keep Mary and David safe, and take them in your arms and help them grow strong and healthy. Also look after our Jelly Bean Kuylen for us. thanks - Sincerely, Brent

The doctor came by to this afternoon to talk to us, not the one that Heather had it out with. He was very patient and informative as he always is, but you could tell he was a little extra cautious of his choice of words. I think word got around, and he is a little scared of "Crazy" Heather. He came in to give us our daily updates on his version of their prognosis. He is happy with Mary's condition and continues to wean her off of some of her meds. they continue to give her antibiotics due to "the infection" she contracted a few days ago. All in all she is doing okay. David is our little guy that needs to poop. His little abdomen is swelling a little bit and they are watching this closely.

Heather's "Arch-Rival Doctor" made a surprise visit this evening to our room to talk about David's problem. There is much concern that he may have a perforated intestine or something worse that includes inflammation of the abdomen. Both of these would require surgery, just depending which one would define the severity. Both surgeries in a child this small are risky, but the inflammation problem would cover a larger area and require more work for the surgeon. The perforated intestine would be a little less severe and require them to go in and cut out the perforated area, and paste it back together. So needless to say the roller coaster ride is still a bumpy ride, and I don't expect either of use to get much sleep until this problem corrects itself or surgery is done, and our little man is okay.

Please continue to pray for our children and our sanity, as we attack this next challenge head on. Even though we report that our babies are doing okay, they are still very much critical patients, and need much care before they will be well. Thanks again for all the concerns, thoughtfulness, and prayers, please keep them coming.
