Please pray my friends. They are readmitting J and prepping him for surgery as we speak. They feel there is infection. If there is he will need 2 more surgeries later this week. Please please pray.

Update: J is out of surgery. The dr was happy the infection did not make it to the inner level of tissue. So they only had to make a 6 inch incision and they do not have to go back in again as long as the antibiotics work. He will be in for a couple more days. TY all for caringโค๏ธ

Itโs so hard to believe that in 6 days this horribly small sick preemie will turn 16 years old. At 10 days old, the neonatologist wanted me to pull the plug. Can you even imagine? I told them to fly him to Pittsburgh. What a life-changing decision. ๐๐๐
