Dear Friends,
We are once again at a crossroads with a big decision to make. We had another consultation from a different specialist who feels that because the baby has gotten worse, that that will be his continued pattern. He feels the best chance we have now is to get the baby out and let the NICU team do all they can. The prognosis is not good, the percentages are not great, but there is a chance and for that we have some hope.
All the doctors are faith-centered, the nurses are NOT contract nurses so they are here all the time, this is all they do and they work closely with all the doctors and patients. The nurses we have had that are not on today have been calling to check on us and tell us they are praying. We feel this is the best place we can be at this time and that we have been led here.
So, we think we have come to the decision that the baby will be delivered in the morning at 9:30 and we are feeling more and more peace toward this. As soon as he is delivered, there will be a team of 5-6 neonatal specialists who will jump in and take over. Laurie is in no danger aside from the usual possible complications that come with a C-section. The prayers we need are for Zane and the specialists when he gets out and for them to be able to find the source of the fluid. It will be touch and go for not only several hours, but possible several weeks.
We will do our best to keep you all updated. Hope this gives you some more specific areas to keep in prayers. We thank you for your time, your love and your support. We can feel it all and it is very comforting.
Grace and Peace and Love,
Jim and Laurie
