Surgery Updates...better than ever!!!

Trevor got "the works" when he went into surgery today. The surgeon fixed two hernias, pushed his bowel in and circumsized him, and Trevor is a better man for it! Trevor was supposed to be on the ventilator after surgery for up to 12 hours but as they were transferring him from Children's to Mary Birch, he looked up at his mommy and started breathing on his own. And after 30 minutes he was off the ventilator. His blood gas levels (CO2 and O2) are better than when he went into surgery and having the ventilator was actually a blessing in disguise because it cleared a bunch of fluid that was in his lungs, that was probably making it hard for him to breathe all this time. He started on nasal canula at 100% and is down to 30% and may be off it completely within 24 hours. Pray for Trevor's primary nurse who has been taking great care of him all day. Pray that he can eat tonight, since he hasn't eaten since midnight. Pray for continued quick recovery and pray for Mom and Dad as they recover too. Thank you to everyone who prayed and supported us today!

Our prayers were answered...and as He often does, above and beyond the measure of our faith, according to His will which always has the best eternal value to it.
God is good....all the time.

And Trevor may go....all...the... way...home! Touchdown! Just listen to the crowds cheering all over the world.

Just don't get overconfident (ever); life is always full of ups and downs, charging fouls and taking the charge for the team, wins and losses, layin' on tables and layin' on beaches. But life is good.

Oh trevor...you just can't imagine all the lovin' still to come your way.

Hug your parents for me....they feel your every pain...who could ever love you more?
