Angel's Wings

Angel has been through a lot in the last few days. After the biopsies, it was determined that he was not rejecting the bowel...Praise God! So, the decision was made to close him completely. They did so using a synthetic skin that will eventually graft with his real skin and just become a part of his body. (BTW...if ya couldn't tell, it's not Sarah writing! So, forgive me for not having all of the correct medical terminology!) The surgeons have said that this is his last surgery...YAY! So, from here on out all Angel has to do is get better. They are looking to increase his feeds from a formula and get him off of TPN as much as possible. When they get that to a certain percentage of formula vs. TPN, they will allow Angel to go back to the apartment where the family is staying.

Sarah is getting prepared for her own surgery soon and getting ready for baby Haven's arrival. Please keep that in your prayers.

Angel's progress has been astounding as 80% of patients who undergo this sort of transplant have some sort of infection or rejection issue. Angel has not had to deal with any of that. So, thank you for all of your prayers and for your blessings on this family. Continue to pray! Keep Sarah in your prayers as she feels pulled in every direction and can't be in all places at once. Pray for peace in her spirit as she settles into this new phase with a new little one who will need constant care. Thanks!
