Prayers Please

Baby Jack

As I mentioned in my last post, Baby Jack (our latest little nephew) was born Thursday morning...beautiful, bright and healthy! All seemed to be going perfect and Erica, Andy, and Baby Jack were set to go home Saturday.
However, Saturday morning some things started to not appear right...sweet little Jack started showing some symptoms that his digestive system was not working properly, and within a short time he was in the NICU being prepped for exploratory surgery!
Our eyes filled with tears upon receiving this news and we all immediately began praying for this precious boy.
The surgery went as expected, only the doctors are still unsure as to what is causing his digestive issues. There are a few possibilities, all ranging in severity, but they might not know for sure for a few weeks.

The big issue currently has been his pain management, The doctors think he is in quite a bit of pain and are trying to help him manage it. The update today was that the doctors are working on the pain and a lung issue (I have no details about what that is).

Jason has just left to go be with his brother for a few days. I so badly wish we could all go and be there with them and Baby Jack, but I think 2 toddlers in the mix would not be the best idea right now. We'll keep saying our prayers from home for our sweet nephew and cousin!! Please keep baby Jack in your prayers!!!
