Tomorrow is Luke's surgery date. We have the orders to be at Brenner's Children's Hospital at 6 A.M. We are expecting surgery to last 4-5 hours. Dr. Adele Evans will be performing a possible adnoidectomy and simultaneous cochlear implant surgery.
Some related prayer requests:
1) successful surgery
2) minimal pain
3) no complications
4) sleeping (Luke sleeps on his side, and since this is bilateral cochlear implant surgery he has no safe 'side')
5) that this would not affect his developing attachment; he would still find comfort in us
6) for us as parents - the strength, stamina and wisdom how to manage his recovery
then...
7) that he would develop sufficient 'hearing' (though it will never be like ours) as a result of the implants
8) that he would develop sufficient speech
For His Glory,
Jo Anna
