Slight Delays...

So we had a very uneventful trip to Charleston on Thursday.  First off let me say I hate the fact that all of Conner's surgeries have been scheduled on Thursday.  We have to leave around 1 am on Wednesday night/Thursday morning and because of this we always miss church that Wednesday night in order to get enough sleep to actually make the five hour drive.  ICK...so after missing church Wednesday night we got up around midnight and got on the road right at 1am.  I was impressed considering we are habitually late to everything we do.  Once we parked and got out in Charleston it was very apparent that Conner did not appreciate having no food since 11 pm the night before.  He was one hungry five month old.  I don't know if you have ever tried it, but there is really no reasoning with a hungry baby.  He was having none of my excuses.  LOL!  After a short wait the doctors came in, everyone made sure they were on the same page and Conner was taken back to the OR.  Normally the doctor is only gone for about 10 minutes.  At around 15 minutes Dr. Hochman came out with a strange look on his face.  He stepped in our room and said "He's fine BUT..."  (No mom wants to hear the but word when their child is in surgery...AHHH!) Apparently the laser did not work.  They got Conner put under the general anesthesia and then started the laser which promptly stopped working.  Basically we were in the car for 10 hours so that Conner could take a highly medicated nap...A technician was going to fly in from Boston to fix the laser, and we will head back sometime in the near future to do a make-up surgery.  OH well, guess if we haven't learned it by now our Lord is just trying to teach us more patience.  

In other news, Conner's pediatrician has reason to believe that Conner might have some internal hemangiomas.  Anyone that has been around us lately and has held little man knows his breathing sounds awful.  He kind of rattles and pants as he breaths.  I have had him to the ped office 5 times for this, and each time we have been told his lungs are clear and that he has an ear infection.  He has had three rounds of antibiotics and still has a "red ear".  The ped office rotates so Conner has seen three different docs.  But on Friday when I talked to his main ped about it he asked me to bring Conner in again Monday.  He is concerned that the breathing could be caused by an H in his airway and that the ear infection could simply be a H behind the ear drum.  Pray that God's will be done.  Ofcourse we want for none of this to be true and Conner to simply have a never ending cold.  But we will go where God leads on this incredible journey.  I will try to update later tonight and let you all know what the ped says!  

We start revival at our church tonight so that should be exciting.  Plus one of my uncles and his family  drove down from TN to see us this weekend.  We actually got to attend church with them this morning and eat lunch together.  They brought a donation from their church which was such a blessing in this otherwise difficult week!  : )  As always we are so blessed.  Much love to you all!
