Caden will be in for a test on Wednesday morning. The test to be performed will be the CT Angiogram which is a fancy x-ray of Caden’s heart and surrounding anatomy. Caden will be sedated for this procedure. This procedure also requires that an IV be inserted. Caden did experience some mild breathing problems on the 14th when they did the sedated echo cardiogram so they are not wanting to sedate him until they have a good IV running. They do not want to have him sedated any longer than necessary. They will start the IV at around 9:00am and the actual test is scheduled for 10am.
I want you all to pray for our little boy on Wednesday morning. Pray that this test will show God’s miracle healing power and just amaze us and the doctors when we see that Caden’s heart is as whole and without defect. I know in my heart that this is possible and this is what I have been praying for this past week. Also pray for God’s protection over Caden so in regards to this sedation.
With all that is going on I have been overcome with fear and worry on several occasions in the past week where I just could do nothing but cry. I need your prayer as well. I need to be strong for my family during this time and I have to tell you that it is very difficult to be strong. Please pray for me to be able to stand on my favorite verse. It is only fitting that my favorite verse was the verse of the day over at BibleGateway.com today. Our Lord does speak to us in mysterious ways sometimes and I needed to be reminded of this verse going into that hospital tomorrow with Caden.
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7 (KJV)
I will post an update later in the week to let you know what the cardiologists say after the CT Angiogram. They have not called us about a surgery date as of today. You can read more details on what is going on in the previous posting below.
I have a couple of really good pictures that Sherry took of Caden this evening during his bath. Click HERE and HERE.
