Good News!

We just came back from visiting Jonah, Scott and Amy and found out that the Drs. have decided that surgery is NOT necessary and they think that the fluid build up is just part of the process. When the PD (periteneal dialysis) works more effectively, he will take in and give off the same amount of fluid and he won't be as edematous (swollen). Praise the Lord and thank you for your prayers. They are giving him less pain medicine now, so he can be a bit more agitated at times. When this happens any mom, dad, gramma or grampa wants to pick him up and cuddle him. This is not possible yet, but Amy and Scott know how to comfort and cuddle him with their hands and voices very well! Basically, we are seeing improvement and are trying to stay focused on the positive things. "Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" Hebrews 11:1 He is in good hands, God's hands and the Drs. and nurses in the NICU are wonderful! Amy and Scott are learning so much and are also wonderful care-takers of their beautiful baby boy! With love, Nancy (Jonah's Nana :)
