This week we head back to CHOC for another surgery for Carter. He has a couple minor issues we've been watching for a few months and it's time to fix him up. He has an undescended testicle and a hydrocele that they will be correcting. Surgery is scheduled for 7:30 and will be approximately 90 minutes. It's normally an outpatient procedure, but because of his other conditions, we'll have to stay the night so they can monitor him a little closer. While we're there, our neurosurgeon is ordering an MRI for a 6-month post-op look at how the shunt is working.
We appreciate your prayers for Carter (and us) during his surgery. Specific things you can pray for are:
- Please pray for our surgeon, Dr. MacAlear for her mental and physical sharpness.
- Please for strength and peace for us as parents during the procedure
as well as the hours before while we try to keep Carter calm despite 12
hours of no food or drink.
- Please pray that the surgery will be smooth with no complications.
