Month 3_Day 10 - Hitting the Road

This will be quick because we are really drained. The dr. decided this morning that he should get a consult from Chapel Hill on Levi's condition and possible Hydrocephalus. His head is growing more rapidly than it should be. This puts pressure on his brain and causes issues of course. The doctor in Chapel Hill believes Levi needs to have a reservoir put in. When he gets large enough we will have to go back again so he can get a shunt put in that will drain the fluid to his abdomen. That would be permanent and would need to be revised at times.This all of course is very disappointing news to us. We know that we have no control over it. At first we thought we were leaving today then it was going to be tomorrow. The final word is to leave next Wed for surgery on Friday. This decision was made because Levi has a higher white blood cell count and needs to be on antibiotics long enough to ensure there is no infection. We do have the green light to rush him up there any time if his condition worsens. As much as we dont want to wait until next week thats not an option we are /excited about either.

Of course we believe that God can heal him before he needs the reservoir. We also understand that may not be in his will. Please join us in prayer for healing. Please pray for the fluid in his head to start flowing naturally. No matter what happens we believe God is in control. We accept whatever happens whether we understand it or not.

Thanks for your support
Trent & Anjie
