Waiting And Praying

An update from Jen:

Just wanted to let you know we all are fine. Still waiting and praying.


GiGi will most likely need the shunt soon, as her head size increases. Fortunately her weight is increasing (3lbs, 10 oz). They will do the shunt after 4lb is achieved. Everyone is hoping she can maintain her current status until her neurosurgeon returns from vacation on Oct 3 (there is neurosurgeon covering for him, but he doesn't 'know" our baby). If she shows a decline in her status and needs surgery earlier than that, then we know it is God's will and won't question His reasons. He has given me a peace about the surgery, and I see every day how he is at work orchestrating the many details of our life.

Please pray for God to bless Gigi's physicians and nurses with wisdom and clarity in determining when she will need a procedure done and which procedure... shunt or reservoir( to reduce the pressure the fluid is causing on her brain). Because she has a rotating schedule of care-providers, it is difficult for them to all know her "baseline". Pray for clarity!!!!!!
