Isaac's Pre-Surgery

Isaac has his (unilateral incomplete cleft lip) surgery tomorrow (Feb 11th). They will repair his lip (stitches) and nose (inserting a stent) at the same time. It is expected to be 1 & 1/2 hours and he'll need to stay in the hospital one night to recover from anesthesia (and so we can learn how to take care of the repaired lip/nose) at home. Although I have a general idea ;)



Ava has never noticed (or at least commented about) Isaac's lip since we first brought him home from the hospital. This always surprised me because she's very observant. I have a feeling when she looks at his stitches she'll say something like "Ohhhh, he's got an Owweyyy!"



Please pray for us and keep us in your thoughts. Although we are glad he's getting this done early it's always hard to see a baby go into surgery.



I'll post more later; including pictures.
