Hernia Surgery on Thursday

I have surgery at 9:40 AM on Thursday. The surgery will be 2 1/2 hours long, I will recover at Mary Birch (where they say it could take 7-12 hours to get off the ventilator). They will stop feeding me at midnight tonight. Please pray I will be comfortable and my mom and dad will sleep well this evening. Pray for no infection, smooth surgery and a quick recover. Look for updates Thursday afternoon.

I am already hurting for you--but you are a warrior and this will probably be a piece of cake. Sorry you have to fast a bit...I know how that goes. We will all breathe a little better by tomorrow afternoon.

Of course the prayers will go up--you can count on that. But more importantly is the ONE Whom we all can count on Who hears all prayers and acts according to His will as we pray according to His will. You can claim 3 John 2 which says, "Beloved, I pray that in all respects you may prosper and be in good health, just as your soul prospers." We thank God for working through people...those who pray, the doctors, the nurses, many other caregivers and staff. Hey buddy....you have a whole team behind you and you are now on our team already teaching us so many things and demonstrating God's handiwork. You shall come out smelling like a Rose.

Praise to our Lord for how well you are doing & how BIG you have grown!!!
I have not been able to get "on line & blog" I have dial-up and it dosen't always work great up here in Weaverville, but your sweet Nana has kept me up on the "Trevor Report", daily!
WE will continue in prayer for you & your parents. May the Lord give the Doctors wisdom & guide them as they perform surgery tomorrow & may His mighty healing hands be with you.
We love you all & you are heavy on our hearts!!!
You are in His Mighty Grip

Aunt Kay said...: Dear little warrior (and Mom and Dad) . . . a prayer for today.

Heavenly Father and most Gracious God, please bless and keep Trevor and his Mom and Dad in your loving care today and always. May YOUR peace settle upon them and be with the health care workers in their wisdom and skill as they perform this surgery and in the follow up care. Thank you for hearing our prayers and for the strength and mercy you give each day. In the name of Jesus, AMEN!; April 24, 2008 at 5:41 AM

Our First Family Photo with Trevor

2008 was a challenging and amazing year, with Trevor Jalen Rose coming 3 months early and spending 80 days in the NICU at Mary Birch Hospital in February, then two months of quarentine at home with Trevor (staying away from all the potential germs), to Trevor's first's of learning how to eat without choking, rolling over and sitting up by himself. We have had many ups and downs, but with the prayers and support from our family and friends we have made it through and are thankful for our healthy baby boy. We have been so encouraged by how God has shown His love through you. THANK YOU!!!

Fun Facts about Trevor's Start in Life

-For the first month of life, Trevor's diaper was the size of your palm (and it was still too big)!
-His feet were the size of the top half of your thumb
-His fingers were the width of a toothpick
-The first time Tina fed him her milk, she had to use an small dropper
-Until Trevor is 2 years old, the doctor's will evaluate him according to his "corrected" or "adjusted" age. So, since he was born 12 weeks early, he is measured as a baby three months younger than his birth age. (i.e.: on February 16th he will be one year old, but his corrected age is 9 months).
