We could use your prayers...

On Wednesday (May 10) Rebecca and I are going to Edmonton. She will be getting a feeding tube put in. This all came about way faster than expected. We had been having a real hard time feeding her lately since starting her on some medication for seizures, it was making her really sleepy and extremely hard to feed. She's hard to feed on a good day, let alone on medication. Since we've switched to giving her the medication just before bed now, she's been easier to feed again, but the pediatrician feels that it would still be a good idea to get the feeding tube at this point while she is healthy instead of waiting till it gets even harder to feed her by mouth. With the tube we will still be able to feed her orally as well, but the tube will be there to give her extra fluids/formula. Besides the g-tube, they will also do a test where they check the pH level in her esophogus for 24 hrs to check for acid reflux, and if it is bad they may want to do another procedure called a fundoplication. I'm not too keen on this procedure and hope that she will not need this. It's something that can be done at a later time if need be, but they feel that if she needs it anyways it would be better to do it all at the same time instead of putting her through surgery twice.
So we could use your prayers over the next few days and weeks. I will be going down to Edmonton alone with Rebecca, Calvin is not able to come along. We may be gone just a few days, but it could be longer. We'll see how it goes and we'll try to keep you updated.
On another note, Rebecca loves going to the pool! I took her once last week and she really liked it so I will be going one more time yet tomorrow with two of her little friends. After that she won't be able to go for awhile till everything heals up.
