Seven weeks

Tonight at 12:23 am Jackson will be seven weeks old. I wish I could say it doesn't feel like it's been that long, but... :) He was moved yesterday to a room in between the CICU and the Step Down Unit. This makes room number four. If this clot issue could be resolved then he would be able to move directly to Step Down and that would, Lord-willing, be our last stop before home. But so far he hasn't made much progress regarding the clot. They have increased the clot buster medicine several times (doing brain ultrasounds twice daily now to make sure he's okay in that area), but his chest tube continues to drain large amounts of chylous fluid. Friends, would you join us in praying for a thorough resolution of this problem? Several doctors have mentioned trying a cath lab procedure to break up the clot, but Jackson's surgeon has said he would like to avoid this if at all possible just because of how small Jackson is. I was encouraged on my drive over to the hospital to remember that we can pray about this and also to remember how willing God is to hear and answer prayer. I was also encouraged to remember it's women's prayer meeting tonight at Lakeroad Chapel! We need God's help and intervention.
