Okay, so let's go present day!

So, I'm sick of rehashing all of the drama that's gone on, especially since we are in the middle of a ton of it now!

Well, here's the dealio...we have been in the hospital more times than I can remember since January. He's had 7 procedures just this year. And to top it off, his 5th birthday is today and we are at the hospital AGAIN. AND he has two more procedures in the morning. His temp has gone up to 102.5 and since he can't talk, I don't know how much pain he is in. He had a MACE and Mitrofinoff done last month. They are both essentially the same thing - a tube created by his intestines that creates a hole on his belly and connects to his bowels and bladder (two different tubes and holes).

It turns out that something has gone wrong and he now has to abscesses in his belly (basically, there sections of puss in his belly) that are making him extremely sick. He threw up this morning and has basically been sleeping since yesterday. Fortunately, the needles haven't been too bad, though. I'm dreading tomorrow. I just hate the way he looks after surgery.

The hardest part of this whole thing is that I can't do anything for him. I can't take the pain away, I can't save him from more procedures, all I can do is watch and pray. In that, I find that I am totally dependent on God. All I can do is trust that He has everything in control and trust His Word that Isaiah is fearfully and wonderfully made and that He knitted Isaiah in my belly and has plans to prosper and not to harm him. I will tell you, being able to know that the One who created EVERYTHING has my baby covered gives me so much more peace than all of the best specialists in the world!
