11/19 - Surgery day for Jaron

From Momma:
-Juls singing Lord I Need You by Matt Maher. Our favorite song

From Grandpa David:
-Jaron is all done and everything went well. He is in PICU and they are going to keep him sedated tonight so he can rest and breath easier. Jaron tries to pull his breathing tubes out and that's why he will be sedated. Doctors told us surgery went good and that they were able to straighten his spine even more this time then they did 2 yrs. ago. They fused his spine and put bigger rods in this should be his last surgery on his back. Thank the Lord for that. We got to go back and see him a few mins. ago. He looks so peaceful laying there right now I hope he will do ok tomorrow when they bring him back awake. sounds like we will be here tomorrow and if things go as expected he will move to a room Thursday. They still are hoping that he might go home in about 5 days. I just talked to Rachel and sounds like Julia is still eating everything in site. Maybe we can put some meat back on her bones before Thur. Missing my snuggles with Juls will have to double time when she gets back down here. Thank You Lord Jesus for being here and wrapping your comforting arms around us as we sit here and wait for Jaron's recovery.


From Aunt Stephanie:
-I'm feeling blessed today. It's been a day full of smiles. Myah and Breydan spent the night and Myah woke up with a big smile on her face and was smiley all morning. I just got back from lunch with Rachel, Ahna, and Juls at the Chinese restaurant (of course:)) and they were full of smiles. It's so good to see Juls happy, smiling and giggling again. I'm praying she stays this way. I'm also praying for Jaron as he is now in surgery. It's definitely a wonderful day full of God's blessings!
