This is actaully an amazing incision. Across the top of his forhead is a drain tube that will be removed by the 2nd-3rd day. Jireh is drinking mama's milk from a bottle and is resting well. When he starts to wake up he cries and the nurse gives him more meds to manage his pain. Jireh will be out of ICU by tomorrow. The surgeon's were in a few hours ago and told us that Jireh is doing amazingly well. They are just thrilled at how well he is doing. They also performed another surgery right after Jireh's today and it went well too. Praise the Lord for answered prayer. The medical staff here is great. Very nice to us and right there to answer ANY and ALL questions. Mike is visiting with the family in our same room. We continue to pray for baby Shay.

  1. It's so clean! It looks like they did a great job! The incision looks good and his head looks perfect! I know it's hard to see but know that this is just a process to get him to the other side - a healthy head. This season will pass soon enough, I promise! He looks so good!

  2. Lots and lots of hugs to you my friend! You know I can feel your pain. My heart is aching for you and I wish I could be there. But, One far greater than I is with you to comfort and uphold you with His righteous right hand. It's okay to cry, all of this is exhausting and very emotional.
