This is the update we received from yesterday on Connor. However, please scroll down to get a more recent update and get on your knees for him right now.
Connor braved his (awake) surgical procedure bravely and the surgeon was able to insert a 16" tube to replace the former 18" feeding tube in Connor's stomach. Because of the size difference, there is a leak still. The surgeon is hopeful the leak will correct itself in time or will reschedule to redo it next week with an 18" tube. Please remember to pray, Connor has lost weight, pray he can gain weight. Also, for those of you who can join us, please come to Joy's home to pray over Connor next Wednesday, July 15th at 11:30am in Frisco! Here is Joy's Update!
WE got a new tube placed. Praise God! The doctor was very competent. He checked the new tube with fluoroscopy dye and felt confident that it was in the right location. Unfortunately, it is still leaking. I don't think it is leaking as much. The doctor said that could happen for a little while. The previous tube was an 18" and the "pathway" for the tube had already started to close up. The doctor felt he couldn't get the same size tube in, so he had to go with a 16". The smaller tube is not blocking the leaking as much as the larger size would. He said hopefully the leaking will subside over the weekend and eventually the leaking will stop. If not, they can put in a larger tube first of next week. Please pray for this leaking to subside and finally quit. At least, we are one step closer to a solution. Thanks for your prayers. Connor did great during the procedure. All of this was done while he was awake on the table. God has surrounded him with a supernatural peace, that is for sure.
Thanks again! We'll keep you posted.
This morning's update we received at 9:15am:
Connor had to be taken to the hospital late last night in very serious condition. Details are very sketchy, but by God’s grace he stabilized early this morning. Pray his organs will receive enough blood to keep active and for wisdom and course of treatment for the glory of God. More details as we learn them.
