Quick Update

Mireya's appendectomy was a success. Her surgery time got bumped a few times due to a few emergencies, but she did great. They were able to successfully remove her appendix with no issues. Jalen had his work up today and as expected it was a struggle. We managed our way through after a lot of blood (vials and vials), sweat (everyone in the room broke a sweat) and tears (mostly Jalen's, but a few came to my eyes). We are still tracking to do the transplant next week. Jalen will have to be examined by the Unit's Pediatrician and the Hemoc team needs to submit our final consent. Mireya's progress will determine if we can go home for a few days before the transplant.

Thank you to special friends and family for visits, kids sitting, special deliveries, food drops @ the hospital, pickups and playdates, washed and folded laundry, home cooked meals and most importantly love and prayers. Our church has a time of prayer on every 1st, 2nd and 3rd Saturday of the month at 9am. This Saturday's hour of prayer will be a dedicated time of prayer for Mireya and our family. The bible tells us in Matthew 18:20 'where three or more are gathered together in my name, there I am in their midst'. Please come and support this time to pray and believe with us for everything we stand in need of during this process. If your not in the area, consider setting aside this time to pray and lift us up. There is power in prayer and God honors our faithfulness and sacrifice. Faith and Family Church is located at 7900 Walmsley Blvd. For more info visit http://www.faithandfamilychurch.org
