This is Elaine catching you all up on Jody and Ezekiel on their big day! First of all, several changes occurred since Jody's last post. Jody's OB, Dr.Sullivan, a praying, God fearing man, returned from his trip to the "new agenda" for the surgery and was not comfortable with the idea of dealing with the urology surgery last night. Knowing the risks, he felt better to wait until this morning to do all the surgeries. Jody of course, wants what's best, but was saddened to hear once again, that Ezekiel would be under anesthesia a long time. Naturally, she put it in God's hands, knowing that he is ultimately in charge of the whole thing!
After a rather sleepless night, she is in good spirits and waiting for God and all her many surgery teams to do their thing! The doctors just came in to tell her that they plan to do the urology surgery using a spinal anesthesia only! This is huge! It will take about an hour but the spinal will not affect the baby at all! That is scheduled for 7:30am. As soon as they're finished, Jody will go under general anesthesia for the delivery and remaining surgeries. This means that the baby will receive some of the the general anesthesia but only about 10 minutes or so compared to the hour and 10 minutes with the earlier plan! Please still pray for minimal anesthesia for him and for minimal effects!
I'll try to keep posting as long as there are updates. Keep praying!
Elaine
