Surgery Date

Hi guys!

We just wanted to send out a quick update on Zeke. He's doing VERY well--doing new things everyday. We have a date for his cranial reconstructive surgery--December 11. We had originally said we didn't want to do the surgery in December because of his birthday and Christmas, but they are not even scheduling for the first of the year yet, so we decided it would be best to take the December date. He will be in the hospital for his birthday, but if there are no complications he will be home for Christmas.

We just ask that you begin to pray now for Zeke and this surgery. This will be his fourth surgery this year (and two of them have been double/triple surgeries) but will be by far the most complicated. The surgery will be performed at CMC-Main. After surgery he will spend a few nights in the ICU and then he should spend the rest of the time on the children's floor. We ask that you pray for the wisdom of the surgeons, the healing of Zeke, and peace for our family. Help us to trust that Zeke is in God's hands.

We will send out another email update after we go in for Zeke's pre-op appointment in November. There are more updates and pictures on our Zeke pages:

As always, thank you for your faithfulness in prayer.
