Ethan's surgery has been postponed to April 30 because he got sick last weekend with Roseola. His pre-op will be on April 27. One of the things they will do is lab work. Since Ethan had this viral infection, his blood tests could be negatively affected (don't really understand this fully). If this happens, surgery will be postponed.
Obviously, it is very frustrating to keep postponing. This is Ethan's 3rd surgery date. The surgery nurse who I have been working with said that lots of kids have to reschedule 3 to 4 times, either because of sickness or they get bumped because an emergency comes up.
We would really appreciate your prayers that Ethan can stay healthy and that we can keep this new date. It doesn't only affect us, it affects our family and friends who will be helping us out during Ethan's surgery and recovery.
Just an example of God's protection - Ethan's first surgery date was April 5. Well, he started running a fever (the first stage of Roseola) on April 6 and the fever lasted for 3 days and then the rash broke out. God knew all along that Ethan shouldn't have surgery on the 5th because he would have been recovering from surgery while his weakened body was having to also fight off a virus.
God is in control, even though it doesn't always look like it to me.
