Hello. Just wanted to let you all know how Marcus is doing. He is doing well now. He did get a mild case of pneumonia again at the end of June. He did not have to be hospitalized this time.
He is up to about 12 1/2 lbs. He is still on oxygen all the time, and the apnea monitor at night (monitors his heart rate and breathing). He is the happiest baby! He is truly a blessing and a joy in our family.
He has come a long way. He has appointments with a few specialists this week. His cardiologist on Wednesday up here in Prescott, and then in Phoenix on Thursday he has appointments with his Neurologist and his Pulmonologist at the Phoenix Children's Hospital. I anticipate all good news.
Please continue to pray that the holes in Marcus's heart will close by God's hand rather than by the doctor's. I really don't want him to have to have open heart surgery. It scares me, to be quite honest. I trust completely in the Lord and know that either way He chooses will be for my good and for His glory. So maybe you could pray for me too. That I will have peace, that my faith will be strong and that I will not fear if he has to have the surgery.
Thank you. I'll update again soon.
Kim
Kim -he look so happy. I am CERTAIN he is the life of the family. Wish I could give him a squish.
ReplyDeleteHe is very happy. He loves all of his sisters and brothers. He really loves his daddy too! He is very lovable and cuddly too. He is definitely a blessing. I can see God using him to stretch me in how much I trust Him. I don't always appreciate that, to be quite honest, but know that it is for my good and for His glory. Thanks for caring and praying.
