Almost time…
November 7, 2007 | Updates
Just a quick update. It’s almost surgery day. We are to be at Primary’s at 10 am on Friday. I’m excited and scared. It will be SO NICE to be ride of the nose feeding tube. But surgery is never fun. And the real reason for this update…Ben has the stomach flu. Not really a big deal, but it will be if Samuel gets it right before or after his surgery. So, please pray that he won’t. I’ve actually gated off his room so no one can go in except for me and Kaylee when she is here. Poor kid will be stuck in there until after the surgery, but that’s a better choice than throwing up right after having surgery on your abdomen. Pray Samuel won’t get sick and that the surgery will go well and that we’ll be happier with the stomach tube than we are with the nose one. It’s just always rough not knowing if your making the right decision. (Deciding to give your child yet ANOTHER scar is not a fun thing either.)
Thanks everyone! I’ll update on the surgery soon and I’ll post some cute Halloween pictures in a few days.
Love,
The Jewkes

Hey, girl! That really sucks that the flu is ‘in your midst.’ Brea has it right now as well. But I know what a factor that is on a surgery day. We will definitely be praying that he stays healthy and that Ben gets feeling better! No fun having the flu. I wish you guys all the best and hope Friday is a great day! I’m pro g-tube and I think you’ll really like it once you’re used to it. And I’m sure Samuel will like not having a tube shoved down his nose all day! we love you!
Hugs, kisses, and prayers.

I’m praying right now that all will go fine with putting in the g-tube, that the Hospital stay will be uneventful and quick. I’m also praying that no one else in the family will get the flu.
God’s blessing on your family,
Sue
