After Oz enters the world, our prayer list:

The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands. ~Psalm 138:8

What we know we are facing right now, and could change.

In order to stabilize:
  • His lungs to function
  • His heart to function and pump oxygen to the rest of his body
  • His pulmonary blood pressure to drop like it should
  • His blood pH to be normalized
  • His kidneys to function
When he stabilizes, he will have surgery in 48 hours:
  • We really, really want Dr. Pr to be his surgeon
  • He will have a repair to pull the abdominal organs (which we are praying are few) back into his abdomen.
  • His diaphragm will be closed, we pray he has enough tissue to fix it, or he may need a patch
  • He will have his intestines fixed - right now they are slightly misaligned because of the CDH
His heart:
  • We pray his left side of his heart will grow and become symmetric, and his aortic arch increases in diameter - it is slightly small
And throughout this, we pray NO INFECTIONS.

This is just the start of our new battle against CDH...we have faith and know God has been and will continue to be with us.
