Successful surgery!
We tried to let everyone know earlier today but the site didn't work. We are so thankful for the outcome of this surgery today! It took about 3 hours and could have taken 7. The Dr. was very pleased with how it went. He removed his kidneys, repaired a hernia, placed the catheter for the future dialysis and overall seemed very pleased. A Dr. in the NICU later said that an xray of his lungs looked "beautiful"! We'll take it and are praising God and are so very thankful! They did caution Scott and Amy that the next few days could be a bit up and down, but this is normal after such a surgery. Pray for rest for Scott and Amy.. they will continue to need it as this is a very stressful and tiring situation. God is their strength and has gotten them through so much already. It was a great day and we are celebrating in our hearts. Thank you so much for your prayers for Jonah and the family. We have a long road ahead but know "with God all things are possible." Jonah has come so far in just 2 weeks! Happy 2 week birthday sweet Jonah! All our love, Nana and Papa

Great Stuff!! keep fighting Jonah!
Heavenly Father, THANK YOU! And we continue to ask...Please protect Jonah from infection, please quickly heal all areas affected by surgery, please strengthen every organ, please guide every doctor and nurse who touches his body or determines his care, please continue to bless Scott and Amy (and every loved one) with the reality of your goodness and lovingkindness, but especially please use this family to introduce others to the Great Physician. And, Father, please continue to knit together this precious little child as only You can do! AMEN!
Looks like yesterday was full of glorious miracles!
"Stand Strong" Baby Jonah!
Surrounding you in love and prayer,

I belong to the Army Goodell and have been assigned here for duty :-) What a precious little boy you have, and what a tough cookie! He has already overcome more in his two weeks then most of us have to endure in a life time. God must have big plans for him in the future!!! Can't wait to see...
