Well another road bump today and we're asking that you all pray fervently!! Not that you've ever stopped! Ron has been running a fever (up to 102.3) all night and this morning when his surgeon Dr. Elieson came in and says there is evidence that there is a leak in his lower intestines, small bowel area. He is leaking bowel and intestinal fluids into his abdominal cavity and after consulting with the rest of the team, Dr. Elieson feels that it is necessary to go back in surgically. He is scheduled for 3pm this afternoon.
The major goal will be to clean out the abdominal cavity. They would love to be able to find the leak in his intestines and fix that while they are in there and they may look at other areas ie: pancreas, small intestine. But, the only thing they are sure of, is cleaning out the belly....all the rest will be dependent on how fragile things are at this point.... how hostile the environment is...they don't want to fix one thing and create two more.
We have been praying for the last couple of weeks James 1:5-6 "if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God who gives to all generously and without reproach. But he must ask in faith without any doubting". We've prayed specifically that God would give his Doctors wisdom on the right time to go back in surgically, and obviously God has answered that prayer! Psalm 46:1 says "God is our refuge and our strength, an ever present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear!!"
We will be moving back down to the CCU after his surgery
