Isaiah Update...

12/28 Update:
Well we just got back from the hospital. He's doing very well. I'm so happy! Poor little thing. I was the last one in to go and see him. Poor baby. He was sleeping when I got in. He was hooked up to everything, but the only thing that seemed to bother him was when they did the blood pressure thingy. He didn't particularly care for that part. I put my hand on his head and pet his cheek. He seemed to like it cause when I took my hand away he started whimpering. The whimpering was less when I put my hand back on, but he kept at it for a while. Poor little guy. He looked like he was hurting. :( :( Then I gave him a kiss and he smiled, so I felt better for him. I gave him another kiss and he smiled bigger. Then I noticed that the oxygen mask was pushing on his eyes and nose kinda hard, and not covering his chin, so I adjusted it and he seemed a lot happier. It was pressing on his eyes, and I could see how that would be very uncomfortable. Then the nurse played some music for him and he calmed down a lot. After turning down the lights for him he just feel right asleep. Little angel. :)

He had the best surgeon too. Big black guy with a really calm, soft, deep voice. He looked like a great big teddy bear! :) He smiled too. :)

Thank you for your prayers. Isaiah will be in hospital for 3-5 days, so please continue to pray for him as he recovers. I'll send updates if anything changes, but he's doing just fine for now. Thank you all so much. :)

Love,
Natalya

We're here now. I'm using the hospital computer. I will post updates
every once and a while. We're updated every two minutes on what times
everything is happening with a big sceen here, and it's very calming.
Auntie seems to be one of the least nervous. Everything seems to be
going well. He was aparently angry for a bit because he wasn't being
fed, but then calmed down when uncle (his daddy) held him. They had to
draw blood again, which he didn't like, but it was over quickly and he
soon stopped crying. They took him into the surgery room at 1:10. It's
2:07 now, and he's still in there. Thank you all so much for praying
with me at 2:00. We all did, and there's a woman here from Auntie's
church who came to support them too. It's very encouraging. Grandma is
staying calm, and it's a very calm envirnment with cool colors used in
decoration, with some warm colors to brighten it up. It's all very
calm. No one is crying, and it's all good.

IMEDIATE UPDATE: Isaiah JUST started the actual surgery. They were
just doing pre stuff before. It's 2:08. Please continue to pray. Thank
you so much!

Blessings,
Natalya

The dorctor just came and told us everything. EVERYTHING WENT VERY
VERY VERY VERY VERY WELL!!! There was a worry of him needing a blood
transfucian, but that's not a concern, "he didn't bleed at all" Those
were the doctors very words. They're just about to take the breathing
tube out, but he might not wake up yet, because of all the medicines.
He's a strong little guy! YAYAYAYAYAY!!!!!! We're all praising over
here! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR PRAYERS!!! I KNOW GOD WAS
LISTENING!!!

Blessings,
Natalya

We're now in another room waiting to see Isaiah, and we should see him in about 30min to 1hr. (he has to wake up from all the sedation). Everything is going well. It's very relaxed and the reseptionest is very nice. :)

My Aunt and Uncle are going to see him now! They just left. Please pray everything will be ok. He's hooked up to everything, and they are worried about how hard it will be to see him like that. We get to see him after they get him all settled. Thank you for your prayers.

I just realized that with the combined prayer chains that Auntie and I have running, we have people in 3 countries and over ten states praying for the little guy, and that's what I know. With all the people that read this blog, there could be even more states and countries with people praying for him! He's loved. :)

Blessings,

Auntie and Uncle have seen him now. Uncle is actually the one crying. Auntie is trying to be strong, but I could see tears in her eyes too. Mom went in to see him and we're going in one at a time, since it's a small room. It's 5:17 and I'm going to see him next. Auntie said he's in a lot of pain, so they're going to give him some morphine to help with that. He has a very bad soar throat from the tube, so he's getting some steriods for that. Also his blood pressure is higher then it should be, but aparently that's easily taken care of. So, over all, everything has gone VERY VERY VERY VERY WELL. All things considered this is WONDERFUL!!! Grandma isn't so nervous, I'm not very nervous, mom's not nervous at all (being a doctor she's very use to this kind of thing). Everything has gone so well. I've had a lot better day then I expected to. :) Thank you all so much for praying. I will update as soon as I get back from seeing him. Being later in the day the hospital is very quiet. We're also in a quiter area then before, but even this is quiter then it was an hour ago. Very calm still. :)

Blessings,
Natalya
