He has been having lots of trouble with draining fluid from his chest and his chest tubes are causing him a lot of pain. Well yesterday they took out one of them and were hoping that the remaining fluid would drain out of the one that is left, but I just read his website and the drs have found a pocket of fluid behind his heart that the drain tubes weren't getting to. He went to the cath lab earlier so they could try to drain it in there, but they told his mom if they can't, he will have to go back into surgery.
I know you all probably get tired of me giving updates about someone that you don't even know. But listen, this little boy needs our prayers. And so does his parents. One open heart surgery is such a huge load to handle on a little boy's body, but this little boy has had one major open heart surgery, and two heart caths so far, all in about 3 weeks. A heart cath alone is a major procedure. And now they are talking about possibly another surgery...that is so scary to hear.
I know that we can sympathize in ways that most of you probably can't in this situation. Not too much longer from now we will be in their same shoes. But imagine if this was your child. Wouldn't you want everyone you knew to pray for them? Please, please lift up this boy and his family to God in prayer.
