Update on Little Will

Thank you so much for praying for Will's little surgery today. We are so grateful to God that everything went very well. Dr. Brown said that Will did very well under anesthesia and she was able to do a total of 10 injections into the lesion. She did 8 across the front of his lid and 2 on the inside of the lid. We were all very pleased that his bleeding was minimal afterwards. She was able to watch his eye throughout the procedure, and she said his retina and inner eye look great. We are so thankful for that! After he came out of the anesthesia, they were feeding him and called us back into recovery. They had warned us that he would be fussy, but we fed him and after he ate, he looked all around and gave us his sweet little smile. Will was such a trooper! He stayed asleep from 5:45ish until they took him back for the surgery this morning, and we were amazed that he didn't start screaming with hunger. We head back to the doctor tomorrow for a follow-up visit, and we will likely see her weekly for a while. We will not know for a week or two if the injections are working to reduce the size of the hemangioma. We are so thankful for your prayers, and we would like to ask you to keep praying for Will and his eye--please pray that Jesus would use the steriods to reduce the size of the hemangioma and that He would heal this growth quickly, and please continue to pray that Will would be able to use his eye and not risk losing his vision. We will keep you posted as we are able. Thanks so much for partnering in prayer with us for our sweet little Will.
