Thank you for praying for our little Will. We wanted to update you on his eye and ask for continued prayer. After receiving a second opinion in person (plus a third and forth opinion over the phone), we decided to go ahead with the steriod injections for Will's eye. His little procedure will be on Tuesday morning (3/10). We have to arrive at the hospital's out-patient surgery center at 6am, and the procedure will begin at 7:30am. Hatch and I will take him in the morning, and we are told we'll be there for 3-4 hours total. Again, our hope is that the steriods will reduce the size of the hemangioma and stop the aggressive growth (but we do not expect it to go away or disappear . . . we will wait for that to happen on its own). We feel great about our doctor, and we are grateful to be in her care. Please pray with us for the following:
- for wisdom and guidance and compassion for the doctors and surgical team caring for Will
- for the details to go well (Will can't eat for 12 hours before the procedure, the steriods are supossed to make him fussy, his eye may bleed from the injection, etc.)
- for no complications and for God to use the steriods to stop the growth and reduce the size of the hemangioma
- for Will to be able to open well and fully use his left eye
- that Will would not lose the vision in his eye and that his sight would develop appropriately
- for peace for Hatch and me (I am more worried than Hatch . . . . I just hate that Will has to be intubated, put under anesthesia, etc., but we know he will be okay and we are grateful for that)
