Fasting for Crew's Surgery

As many of you are aware, Crew's surgery is this week on Wednesday. We will be fasting tomorrow (Sunday the 2nd) - praying that he'll only need one surgery and that all will go well - and we'd like to invite any of our dear readers, who are interested, to join us.

This is the surgery that we've been waiting for since his birth. At this time, they'll cut his tongue loose from his lip and they will fix his cleft palate. Surgery will be at approximately 7:00 a.m. If all goes well, it will probably be around a 36 hour stay.

In 95% of cases, only one surgery is required. We are hopeful that we will fall into that category. And, again, if all goes well, we'll be able to start introducing foods by mouth once he has healed. We are excited to move forward in the process.

We are praying for him. After it all goes well, let me talk to him on the phone and tell him how awesome food is, because it is!

I could mail him a jdawg from the hot dog stand in provo... that would be a great way to start eating solids :)
