Well, Weston is scheduled for surgery tomorrow morning at 9am. Depending upon how the surgery before his goes he will be in at 9am. We heard from the surgeon today what they plan to do, how they plan to do it and what will be coming in the days to follow.
Weston will be in surgery for somewhere around 5 hours tomorrow. Mostly to make sure that everything works like it should and that he gets back up to normal rather quickly. That is a long waiting time for mom and dad but we know we can get through it.
Once Weston is back in the room we have been warned that it may be a little disturbing. They showed us pictures of other kids and surgery things so that we can be mentally prepared for the worst. Hopefully things will be easy but we aren't holding our breath. If you want to visit him in the coming days please note that it may be a little hard to see.
Weston most likely will be sedated for a few days and then the recovery process starts. They told us today that most likely he will need to be in the hospital for about 2-3 weeks depending on how well he recovers. We are really praying that things go smoothly and are mentally preparing ourselves for being in Minneapolis for that time.
Today was a good day again however. Weston had some family come to visit and wish him all the best tomorrow. We are so incredibly grateful for good family and the blessings that come with it. Pastor Dave came to visit today to and said a prayer with us all. We both are really moved that he has been so willing to come be a part of the process for our family.
The 3 generation shots that every family should have! Again... we can't say it enough... we are blessed by our family at home as well as the church family that is surrounding all of this in prayer. We feel the out pouring of love and affection from each and every one of you! We will post tomorrow how things went with surgery... but most likely no photos.
I am so glad to have the family that we do. We will take the heartaches in stride and know that Weston is already strong enough to pull through! Thanks for keeping us in your prayers!
Ellie, you look fantastic! I will step up the prayers for tomorrow's surgery! Hugs!
