please continue prayers; back to OR today

I'm waiting to see all that God will work through today! When Terri called this morning her voice was strong and she'd slept well knowing Corbin was stable and actually eliminating fluid. I was not prepared for her words, but know that her peace reflects God's grace and work in her heart.
Corbin is going BACK to the OR for his 9th open heart surgery today. Yes, you read that right. Apparently there was late-night discussion with Dr. Ohye. He did not remove the catheter sheath nor the arterial line from Corbin's leg because they had not found the second stent from the earlier procedure, but he securely sewed them into his leg to prevent movement. He DID close up Corbin's chest. Well, when they could not find the stent on the x-ray, they invited Travis to look at it as they were explaining it, and, yes, you guessed it, he immediately saw the stent and it is in a very precarious location, open, in the bottom of the lower vena cava. Praise God for opening Travis' eyes and revealing what the doctors could not see! The stent MUST be removed and then the cath sheath can be removed so that the stent cannot move and do damage.
Hopefully the re-opening of Corbin's chest will not be lengthy or difficult, and Dr. Ohye feels his part will be quick although he must go into a lower area of the fontan circuit that he didn't touch before. Unfortunately, the OR is fully scheduled and they do not know when they can get him in.
Please pray for God to clear the path for Corbin to have this next surgery at the perfect time for him. Pray for Dr. Ohye's strength, wisdom and skill after long days of intense work. Pray that Corbin will be protected from human error and infection. Pray that the surgery will carefully remove all that needs to be removed and that God will give Dr. Ohye eyes to see all that needs to be seen and all that can be improved for Corbin's rapid and complete recovery. Please Pray that Corbin will remain strong, still and comfortable. His sedation levels are dangerously high and they are keeping him paralyzed, but he still opens his eyes despite having more narcotics than most adults could tolerate.
Our pastor must fly back home today. Please pray that God will provide peace for T&T and that Dave's flights will be safe and timely. We are still experiencing heavy, frequent storms here and many dangerous situations have developed. We're fine, except we won't have telephone service for many more days (Praise God for cell phones!).
"Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that He may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you." 1 Peter 5:6-7
Terri asks that we all remember also to pray for baby Jake and his parents (carepage: JakeRodgersJourney)
God cares so much for all of us and continues to bless us and protect Corbin. We await His next miracle and Praise Him in ALL things.

The one thing that sustains the *heart moms* is the power of prayer... many of us have seen how great it works!
I am sure Corbin's family appreciates all. We all do. Corbin has become everyone's little boy and remains at the top of our prayers lists.

This will be brief, but urgent prayer is needed. Corbin is going for an MRI as soon as possible. His fluid retention is severe, his bowel impacted, his blood pressure very high and this morning they suspected seizures. Neurology believes he's "taken a neurological hit" and is suspecting either stroke or spinal cord damage.
Please pray for God's mercy and kindness to Corbin, T&T. God knows ALL that Corbin needs and will supply ALL his needs and we Praise God for that.
May God be glorified THIS day.
I will post when there is news, but need to get this on the carepage ASAP.

I've just recently got off the phone with Terri, Corbin's mother. She is asking for all the prayers that they can get right now. Corbin is not moving anything neck down. They suspect massive global stroke(s) or damage to the spinal cord. Praying for God's perfect plan to reveal itself and He provide the strength and courage to face whatever news the MRI brings. Also praying that it is something fixable or reversable. God is good and can do all things. Please pray for the miracle.
