    Short update. Looks like it may be about 2 weeks before surgery unless things go bad again. They've given him oxygen and transfusion and now they've taken the oxygen off and so far, so good.

    On the bad side, many seem very frustrated with the doctors and the hospital but perhaps most of that is just frustration and wanting the child to be fixed as soon as possible. Keep praying please.

    Prayers will continue. I agree with Milleo. Maybe after the transfusion, some healing should come first.

    Surgery has been done and the little guy is holding his own. He will be in ICU for 3-5 days and then in a recovery room for 5-7 days.

    Thanks everyone for the prayers.

    Thanks WS. Yes, it will be rough and he is in pain but they are keeping him well sedated and they say he will not remember this. That no doubt is true as most folks, we are told, lose most of their memories that happened before age 6. We used to hear that nobody could remember anything from before age 6 but I scoffed at that the first time I heard it. Put simply, I have never forgotten that morning when I woke up and could not move because of polio and I was age 4 at the time. However, there is a lot of it that I do not remember and that is no doubt a good thing.
