Tomorrow morning my sweetest and most favorite little one year old is being "put to sleep" to have a CT scan done.....this is all part of some of his special needs that I've not blogged about yet...all things I knew as soon as I met him in december...
I'll blog more details when I know them..and what the road ahead looks for us...but for now....I'm MOST anxious about him being put to sleep (yes, this is my FIRST child ever to be put to sleep) and I'm super ANXIOUS that he can't EAT tomorrow morning...My sweet boy KNOWS and REMEMBERS hunger...so I'm so afraid that he'll be beyond consolable when I can't give him his morning bottle...... Please pray for him to have an unexplainable PEACE about not eating...a PEACE that only the LORD could give......
My sweet boy was PERFECTLY MADE...and we love him SO much... I'll keep you all posted..but for now...I'd so appreciate your prayers for a smooth morning TOMORROW!! This Momma loves to feed her baby boy.....Praying his little heart understands some how.....Happy Wednesday to you all, kj
Still up and praying from here in Ohio!
ReplyDeletepraying for your dear baby boy.
ReplyDeleteI've only been reading your blog for a few weeks, but have already been so blessed by your faith and your profoundly deep love of all things "motherhood". Your calling as a mother who serves and blesses her family is so evident, and it is not often that women REJOICE and REVEL in their calling as wives and mothers. Thank you for sharing with us how much you love and treasure your children. I will be praying for you and Wes tomorrow for sure.

ReplyDeleteWe've had very similar situations with our boy with some special needs and also adopted. We always requested the earliest appointments and then let him stay up really late the night before so he would sleep in the next morning and then we would head to the hospital as soon as he woke up so there was really hardly any time to even think about breakfast. We also woke him up at 11:45 p.m. to feed him!!! It was WAY harder on this Mama then it was on our little guy!!!
Jesus has such a wonder plan for Wes' life!!!! Blessings, Denise
Praying for sweet Wes
ReplyDeletePraying for precious little Wes!
ReplyDeletePRAYING!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the fact that with the time change ... I can be praying while you and most of your blog readers are sleeping which means your little man will have 24 hour prayer coverage!

Hello Kristi. I have been reading your blog for some months now. It is so inspiring and full of faith and joy. :) Your baby boy looks chubbier already, so healthy looking and smiley.
ReplyDeleteTalk to him and explain what is to happen. He may not understand the words but babies know the language of the heart. Sing to him. He has known hunger and he probably has known loneliness as well, .But this time, although he will be hungry he will be in his mommy's arms. He will know it is different. Anyway I will be praying, all the way from Lisbon Portugal! ;)
My little girl from Uganda has had to be without food and water for hours for several medical procedures. She too KNOWS hunger like your little Wes. I'll be honest. It is HORRIBLE for her every time. She's little and she doesn't understand. I've found that hospital staff don't get it and I've had to be really loud about it. I've had to stress to them that food and being hungry is VERY serious for her. Don't be afraid to make a little noise so that they hurry for your little guy. The good news is that because they are so little, they forget by the next day. :) Praying for good news and lots of clear answers from the CT scan.
ReplyDeletePraying right now!! Praying that God would fill his little tummy as only he can and allow him to not even feel hunger! Praying that it would be an opportunity for him to be even more attached and trusting of you through tests/pokes/prods.
ReplyDeleteMuch love to you all...
Praying Kristi! I can't imagine! Love seeing this little guy thrive in your family's arms though!
ReplyDeletePraying for ya'll and precious Wes!!!
ReplyDeletePraying!
ReplyDeletePraying hard for that adorable little boy and for strength for his sweet mama!
ReplyDeleteMy two year old has been sedated several times... three eye surgeries.. twice for MRI's, and once for a CT (to try to figure out why she has Hypotonia, among many, many other issues, and then to rule out a brain tumor when her eyes started deviating out suddenly earlier this year.. but the only explanation so far has been a brain bleed that may or may not have to do with anything.. ut oh, I'm rambling!)... anyway, it never gets any easier for me. I always try to keep her really busy in the morning so that she doesn't "notice" that she's not eating.. hopefully, since he's really young, he will be one of the first of the day so that he doesn't have to go too long! The hardest part is definitely when they wake up and aren't "with it", just breaks your heart! But hopefully within a few hours, he will back to his cute little self (though he'll probably be acting wobbly) .. that's usually how it works, and I hope that's the case with him.
Reading this for the first time now - I hope that your day has gone well, considering all that has been part of your day. Saying a prayer for your strength, and peace.
ReplyDeleteI hope it all went well today. That will be hard on you and him, for sure..but as someone commented above..he will be in his momma's arms!!
