We are learning that everyday there is something new that they inform us about. Today was the picc line. So far he has had tubes in his umbilical cord so they don't have to break skin, but we were informed they only keep these for 7-10 days. So the picc line is when they put an iv through his arm or leg and thread it all the way to the heart. This will provide a way to get nutrition in him and take blood samples from him so he's not being poked all the time.
There are some risks involved and getting it in may be difficult. Please pray for it to go in easily the first time, and that they don't have to replace it during treatment. They are going to try to insert the line probably Thursday sometime.
Heavenly Father,
ReplyDeleteThank you for the miracle we know as Gabe, and continue to strengthen his little body hour by hour and day by day. We are so grateful for these doctors, nurses and others who are ministering to his physical needs, but ultimately we know that he is in your hands. Bless the means being used to heal & strengthen him. And we ask that you draw Dan & Shannon close to you--may they feel your arms about them and sense the presence of your Spirit. Comfort their minds, strengthen their bodies and enhance their faith. Thank you for caring about this one little baby and his incredible parents. In Jesus' majestic name we pray. Amen.
Thank you, Paul, for the prayer. You got Dan and I tearing up.
