We hope you had a good Christmas.  Ours was as we expected, but good.  However, we need a lot of prayer today.

David has had some setbacks after his surgery.  His belly is swollen, which is a complication from heart surgery.  They are not feeding him from the bottle today, and they are probably putting him on a special formula tomorrow.  How this will affect Amy and her nursing remains to be seen.  She doesn’t want to give that up, but may have to in order for his digestive system to function properly.

His blood pressure is also a little high.  They think they can fix it with medicine, so we’re waiting to see how that goes.  There is also a slight problem with his lymphatic system, but that could be corrected with the formula.  Lastly, a small portion of one of his lungs has collapsed, but the doctor said that was normal after heart surgery and should correct itself.

Please continue to pray for David and us.  We don’t know when we’ll be out of the woods simply because one day is good, then the next is like taking two steps back.
