Phyllis, Dr. Tolo's head nurse came up with that look on her face. Our surgery got bumped for a liver transplant. I'm glad someone got their new liver but I have to say my son suffered through the entire day with NOTHING to eat or drink. He was miserable. And it was ALL for nothing.
So Dr. Tolo, Dr. Woody (I have no idea how to spell his real name but this is what we call him), and Phyllis will be coming in on Saturday morning to do Isaac's second surgery. So that is where we are. I've uploaded some photos from day one to now. Some are hard to look at but well that's life right now! Keep us in prayer as we get all pumped up for surgery again on Saturday!
Shot the night before surgery!
Getting ready to go up to Pre-Op!
Scott with his kids and Isaac!
Checking to make sure G-Ma's heart was working.
I think he might have had a little bit of the happy juice at this point!
Right before they gave him the "happy juice"!
Waiting 5 hours in!
Still waiting 9 hours in!
Right out of 14 hour surgery!
Day 1 in ICU... Just took out breathing tubes.
Day 2 in the ICU... trying to smile!
Day 3 in the ICU...
First time in Brace... this is still hard everytime!
Not too happy with me...

I'm so sorry that Isaac had to go through that today! I hope they gave him a big delicious dinner to comfort his hungry belly! Looking forward to hearing about a successful surgery on Saturday. Praying for his speedy recovery!
I am so sorry. Hope today is a little better.
Just wanted to drop you note and let you know, we are still praying for you and Isaac. I'm so sorry about your day yesterday. I've got a little something for Isaac, I'm just a slacker at getting it in the mail. Hopefully it will come at just the right time.
Hang in there mamma.
Love,
Missy
MAN! I would have been so cranky with nothing to eat all day - poor kid. I'll bet he handled it better than I would have. It was great to see the pictures of him and to know he's still...Isaac.

Praying for you and your son--that tomorrow surgery would go well and he will have a fast recovery. I appreciate your pictures, as it's helped my daughter (whose back looks similar to Isaac's pre-surgery photo) and the rest of my kids seeing another little kid with pott's.
Our family continues to pray for you both!
