A "WILL" REPORT

Thank you so much for your prayers!

Will was in surgery for 45 minutes and then in recovery for 2 hours. The doctors were pleased with his surgery however in recovery they didn't like his oxygen blood levels but they returned to normal later in the evening.

There was a tremendous peace...and this had to be from the Lord - what a blessing to be able to watch two young parents calm and strong and knowing the prayers of many were undergirding them! While waiting in pre-op several nurses kept popping in to see the "cute baby with the great big blue eyes and curly hair!" Then when they came to get Will from pre-op waiting...they put him on the gurney - he sat up and just clapped all the way down the hall! Made it much easier for the parents and grandmommy as we waved him away.

These are some entertainers in the pre-op waiting room at Children's Medical in Dallas Dr. Abby Normal and Dr. Nerse Abby Normal

In recovery Will was screaming his head off until he saw a cute nurse - stopped crying - took out his pacifier, grinned really big and waved - then pushed the curtain back so he could get a better look at the nurse with his neighbor patient!

Although Will's mommy didn't get much rest - Will did seem to sleep okay cuddled up next to her in the big hospital bed. He got a lot of loving from his mommy & daddy and his Cookie and Lovie ( thank you so much to the two dear friends who flew Tom over on their plane so he could visit for a few hours)

Rocking my sweet Will!

Later in the wee hours of the morning 4am when his mommy finally crashed for some sleep and I came over from the hotel and climbed in bed with Will he was sleeping so soundly that the nurses agreed to my request that we take his vitals later...so the prayer for loving nurses was also definitely answered!

He is beginning to slowly eat his normal table foods again which makes us happy - he has several stitches inside his mouth on his tongue but they will dissolve soon...and his pain seems minimal - he cries when he gets something that is salty in his mouth or bumps his mouth or just doesn't feel good...and we just have him on children's tylenol so that too is an answered prayer for minimal pain and quick healing and best news of all - they released Will the next day!

And he is now up to some new tricks (practicing for the day he gets to go papering?)






We look forward to Will eating spaghetti again soon like he did 2 weeks ago - Will likes to slurp the long noodles and decorate his hair!
