PLEASE PRAY FOR MY LITTLE MAN!

We had a horrible scare with Kai. He has developed obstructive sleep apnea and was hospitalized as an emergency this morning, after what I thought was going to be a routine doctor's visit.

They immediately started talking about removing adenoids and tonsils, which for a child with a cleft palate, could make the difference of whether he is able to have hypernasal speech or not. It is usually not a good outcome when these parts of the anatomy are removed.

Please, pray specifically for wisdom for the doctors, especially the ENT. He is having a sleep study done tomorrow night. Tonight he is in ICU with monitors tracking his heart rate and breathing. He apparently stops breathing about once every 2 minutes during the night.

Please...please lift my baby up to our Lord and ask for complete healing without surgery.

I just ran home to pick up some videos for him, while Scott stayed at the hospital. My Mom and sister, as always, have been my angels and picked up the slack by taking the little ones. I didn't even get a chance to say goodbye to Anna Grace. We were told to plan to be in the hospital at least 3 days.

I am sorry this is so rushed. I will post as soon as I can. Just PLEASE...keep praying.

Thank you. I love you guys!
