Quick Update on the Surgery

This is from Jen:
Hi friends,
Just a quick update. It's hard to be quick, because I want so badly to share with you all of the many ways we saw God working today (and imagine all the ways in which He worked where we DIDN't see him, too)!!!

Gigi underwent surgery this evening. Her neurosurgeon removed her shunt and added a temporarty external drain. She will receive antibiotics to stop the infection, then undergo a second surgery in about 2 weeks for a new shunt placement. Currently she is back on the ventilator and sedated on pain medication. They will taper her tomorrow to see if she can begin weaning from the ventilator. She does look comfortable and well, just precious. Her strength is beautiful and inspiring.

God has revealed His presence over and over again! Praise Him in the name of Jesus Christ!
