From Heather (emphasis mine):
Grace has been on a clear liquid diet until today where she is getting nothing into her stomach until anesthesia at 5:30. She will be getting a complete GI scope and a bone marrow biopsy. Please pray for the anesthesiologist and the surgeons as well as for Grace.
Jon called this morning to say that they will be at the hospital at least until Monday, because the doctors want to observe her as she goes back on feeds. Also, for the results of the biopsies. (I'm assuming intestinal, because the bone marrow takes a week.)
Jon is discouraged and sleep-deprived, and it's not really practical for me to go there because of Hope.
Grace and Jon did have a good day yesterday, playing games, doing crafts, reading books, painting, watching Mary Poppins.
We're holding on here at home, but now will need to prepare for and go to Family Camp without two important members of the family. Hopefully, they will be able to join us soon.
In other news, Noah is 18 today, and to celebrate true adulthood, has a written FAA test and a dentist appointment.
In case you were wondering, those of you who know of Noah as a baker, he is making his own cake today. Maybe I'll have pictures later.
And here's a joyful update, which I'm sure is helping Jon a lot:
We have a friend who just volunteered to go down and give him a break. Praise God for his people!
