Could You Say A Prayer My Grandson, Adrian?

I wanted to stop in and ask if you would Please say a Prayer for my youngest grandson, Adrian, who was born 3 months and 1 week premature. He is 11 months old , and weighs 16 lbs, 15 1/2 oz.

He came into this world weighing 2 lbs 8 oz and 14 3/4 inches long. He's had heart surgery when he was barely 1 mth old. He's had blood transfusions, numerous times he was put back on the life support after heart surgery to close his ductus vessel in his little heart.

From the scare tissue that built up on his tiny vocal cords, he's had 2 throat surgeries over the summer at Vanderbilt in Nashville. He has stridor. He may never be able to talk normallly. When he cries, You CAN'T hear him. When he tries to scream, it's barely a sound. My daughter is soooooo in tune with him, (the little peeps he makes when he cries or screams, she hears him) her and her husband are the most wonderful Mommy and Daddy in the world!! They Love him so Very Much!

He has a double hernia in his scrotum, double hernia in his little tummy, and needs to be circumcised because he has a hole in his bladder and if he's not circumcised it's only making his bladder infections worse.

I got the phone call yesterday from my oldest daughter, "Mom, Adrian has to have surgery Tuesday afternoon".


His hernia in his scrotum is the size of a grapefruit. Yes, My daughter noticed it over the weekend, and they got him into the doctor as soon as they could, today.
So he's having his hernia surgery.

He's so tiny, BUT SO FULL OF LIFE AND SMILES!!!
He smiled all that week he was here. Even though we couldn't hear him cry, he barely cried while he was here. He was always smiling.

PLEASE....SAY A PRAYER FOR Adrian. He's having surgery on 2 double hernia's and being circumcised too. They will doing his bladder surgery at a later date, they said.
It's risky with his stridor, but the Dr.s there know him well my daughter said, which is good. The anestesioligists.
My son in law cried when I talked to him yesterday. "Mama, I wish you were here with us like you were when we lived in WI. I want you go be here with us."

Dear God,
Please Watch Over My Precious grandson Adrian.
Give him Strength to make it through this surgery Lord. Give his parents strength and courage to make it through also. Watch Over him like You have the past 11 Months!
In Jesus' Name I ask,
Amen
My Precious Angel, Watch Over Your Precious Little Nephew....You have taken care of us for the past 2 1/2 years now. I know you're getting tired, but Mom NEEDS YOU AGAIN
ALWAYS LOVED, NEVER FORGOTTEN JASON! Hugs and kisses to Heaven, Baby Boy!
Love Mom

Thank You Twitch...I'm trying to stay as strong as I can.

I was in the hospital with them for almost 3 months with them, until he was discharged. He is a little fighter though!

I just wish I could be down there with them, as when he was born up here. sad

Dear Lord,
Please hold little Adrian in you loving arms as he has these surgeries. Guide the surgeons hands as they work on his little body, Lord. I also ask that you give the family a sense of peace that everything will work out in your time Lord. I ask these things in your precious name. Amen


Ponie, I know what it is like to watch your grandchildren go through surgeries. My grandson has had three. He has cerebral palsy. It's very hard on everyone. I will continue to pray for you and your family. Just remember to keep your faith. flowerforyou

I have tears streaming down my face as I type this post...Such a Wonderful Caring Community here......

Thank You ALL SO VERY MUCH!
I talked to my daughter tonight, I told her I'd posted in both sites I'm on now, a Prayer for Adrian.
She told me to tell You All that You're in her Heart even though she doesn't know you.

God Bless You All
May MY Angel Watch Over You and Yours,
Jini
