This is an older picture of Wesley, but I thought that it was cute, b/c you get to see his back. Today Wesley had a busy day. He had a PICC line put in and also had another EKG. We were glad not to be there to see the PICC line go in. We hate to see him be stuck with needles, but were happy that they successfully got it in. That will be a more permanent line that he will get all his meds and stuff put into, which means less sticking and we are happy about that. We spoke with the cardiologist today about the EKG results. He still has a PDA (which we were really hoping was gone) but it has closed a little more. (Yeah) The cardiologist has to meet with the doctor and they will make a decision on whether or not to do another round of the medicine or to do surgery. Please pray that the doctors will have wisdom on what the best decision is to treat him and that it will close! The doctor was encouraging though, he said how good Wesley was doing and that he has come along way. We like to hear good news.Friday, April 17, 2009

I am so thrilled to hear the good news about Wesley today. It sounds like he is doing so well to be so tiny. He is one tough little guy! I will pray for wisdom for the doctors in making a decision about another round of medicine or surgery. Such a sweet picture of Wesley's back. How precious! Praying for Mom and Dad too. Love & blessings, Melinda Smith!
ReplyDeleteHey guys....You have obviously made such wise decisions for caring for Wesley. And I am sure God will continue to guide you as you ask questions, questions, and more questions. The decisions are yours, the docs can offer options, but the decisions are yours. As you consider the risks and benefits of any particular treatment or procedure, God will give you strength and discernment as you two have the purest motives for Wesley as you ponder the choices offered to you.
