My son, Urijah, goes in for his 3rd open heart surgery in about 11 hours. There were a couple of things the surgeon mentioned that could be better but we are hoping everything works out as planned. I'm a poor excuse for a Christian but I'm praying hard. I hope to have some good news in about 20 or so hours.. Thanks for all of the well wishes and prayers.

Time for me to try and get some sleep.

May God uphold you and your family. May he guide the entire medical staff to a full recovery and satisfactory outcome. It's my prayer that this is only a speedbump and that you all can go back to normal...if that's even possible...sorry...that last part wasn't part of the prayer...just humor.o:)

Thanks, guys. I just got a call from my wife telling me they might not do the surgery for awhile now because my son is probably sick. For dang near 8 months we have avoided sickness entirely...even to the extent that outsiders had to wear masks in our house IF my wife even allowed them over.. Installed foam sanitizer dispensers all over the house..just everything..

We're at this dang hospital only for a few days and they've exposed my kid to RSV! Now we have to do tests to confirm this because this could actually nullify the effects of a surgery he needs to live!

I'm not going to say what I really want to right now..

There's a reason for this delay. Perhaps someone wasn't 100% up to the task. Perhaps there's more info they need for a great outcome...IDK. There are times where I run late...One of my pet peeves...when that does happen I count to 20...shrug it off and say to myself that if I was on time then perhaps it was to be in a head-on collision with a semi truck and being late spared me. There's a reason.

Keep on praying and keep us all informed when you can...how come you're not there? You need to be. Do what you can too.

Hang in there, brother, Doc is right, at least they admitted the potential problem, you would be surprised at the 1000's of cases that they/hospitals and clinics, try to cover up.

More prayers sent, had the little one in my thoughts quite a bit, as I've spent many a week in a CHildren's hospital, with the little fella in my avatar, and these sorts of things make you feel very angry and helpless to do much, TRUST ME I understand, I've felt quite similar, I'm pretty sure, PM if necessary, my friend, gonna be around the screen off and on all day

Thanks guys. I appreciate it. I am glad they didn't go ahead with the operation. I'm just mad that my son managed to get sick at the hospital of all places..

My wife and I take turns since there isn't room for both of us to stay. I'll sleep at the hospital one night and the next night she will.

I also have my other son right now. Who seems to be sick as well..he's been coughing nonstop since last night.. No clue what's wrong with him.. He just coughs every 15-30 seconds.

Now I'm waiting for my MIL to get here so I can get back to the hospital (she has my other sons carseat).

Wife just called.. They'll likely send us home and make us wait for another 4 weeks. The only bad part about this is that he has vessels clotting off.. The longer we wait, the time there is for something else to go wrong. And I have no idea if my employer is going to be lenient enough for me to be away again in a month.. It's all just one big mess.
