Surgery Update

Today was a pretty good day! Pearson was able to rest most of the day. I'm sure these last couple of restless days finally wore his sweet little body out. Unfortunately, Pearson has come to a stand still and isn't making anymore progress. His lungs do not appear to be developing anymore so Dr. Kays plans to do surgery tomorrow. We were hoping he would be off the ECMO before the surgery but they are unable to wean him off anymore. However, just like last time, if he sees any progress between now and surgery tomorrow at 3:30 then he could very well postpone it again. We trust Dr. Kays and we know that God is working his miracle through him so whatever he feels is the right thing to do shall be done. We thank you so much for the continued prayers. We will update you tomorrow night.

    By the time you read this tonight, I pray that surgery is over and Little P is on his way to recovery and one step closer to coming home. Know that you all are surrounded by prayers today and everyday. As I told you yesterday GOD"S TIMING is perfect no matter what time schedule we prefer ourselves. I am trusting in God with no doubts that all is going according to his plan for his glory. We love you three and are so thankful and proud of all you and Matt have handled and continue to handle with your faith firmly in God. Can't wait to get back down there and see all the progress your little man has made.
    Love,
    Aunt Lunda, Uncle Ted & BB

    Love ya'll,

    Matt & Brandi,

    I just want to let you know that Pearson and you both are in my prayers. As you may already know, I was born with a birth defect as well. Not as rare as Pearson’s but I can still relate. So I may bring to you a little comfort, all children are miracles but some are not told as much as Pearson may be. I grew up surrounded with family telling me I was a miracle child. Just hearing my story and understanding the meaning of life and how fragile it may be, gives me the Strength, Faith, and Courage I need to make it through this life. I am a miracle and Pearson will be too. TELL HIM EVERYDAY!!!
    Also, just to tell a quick story. My Mother and Father prayed and prayed for me but one day before my surgery my Mother knelt down beside my bed and cried to God and praised him for all he had done but just wanted him to know that she was giving ME to him. Whatever my fate should be would be one to Glorify Him. I was his to cure. I was HIS. Needless to say, it was ONE POWERFUL PRAYER!!!!

    Sincerely,
    Sarah Logan

    Praying today for you, Brandi and Matt, and for Pearson to rise through his surgery and begin healing and getting stronger. I am sad that I can't be there tonight to help take care of him, but I know that he will be in good hands. Dr. Kays is absolutely awesome, as is our entire team. I will keep praying and I know that Pearson is going to continue fighting and will keep showing us all what a true gift from God that he is. You both are amazing parents, keep doing what you're doing!

    Matt and Brandi-
    Please know that you have people praying for Baby Pearson and both of you. I'm in tears reading your blog, amazed by how strong you are! Keep the faith, and find your peace in Him. Pearson is adorable, I love the pictures of him with his eyes open!

    Know that he isn't doing anything so unusual for a CDH baby - though all are different too! Keep your hope and faith. Getting a whole lot of people to say prayers and praises for you all! Know that Dr. Kays is one of the very best.

    Sending thoughts, prayers and Lung Function Chants!
