The surgeon came into our room about 10:30 pm last night and discussed his prognosis of David's condition. Basically he said that the x-Rays did not show any perforation in his intestines or abdomen, but looking at the swelling in his tummy and the discoloration. He believes that David has a spontaneous perforation to his bowel. He is doing an exploratory surgery to find and repair this problem at 7 am on Friday. He basically said that if this problem is left alone David would get sicker and most likely pass away. The surgery is risky, and the chance of his survival is 50\50, but without it would surely have a bad ending. So without much choice, Heather and I are allowing the surgery, and are praying hard that God doesn't decide to take another one of our babies. Please pray for David, and Mary as you have time today.
Thanks,
Brent
