Update On Baby Isaac

Things have been going great for 5 month old Baby Isaac, even to the point that his parents were going to take a short much needed vacation. Well just before they were ready to walk out the door, they got a phone call regarding some routine lab tests. There blog said:

During yesterday's pediatrician appointment, labs were drawn to check his electrolyte levels since adjusting some of his meds. Results came back with sodium & chloride in dangerously low ranges to the point of putting him at risk for seizure activities. This shocked us as he's been amazing over the past few days. So instead of the beach, we're back in Chapel Hill awaiting a PICU bed to open up. We're not sure why his levels are so out of whack & are praying for wisdom in discerning the root of the problem. Jordan & I are praying for a quick resolution to Isaac's condition without additional complications.

Please pray for this family. They are such a blessing to so many people, and they are so young dealing with such a challenging and scary issue. Isaac was suppose to go back to the hospital within the next couple of months for the second of his three or four surgeries to rebuild his heart. He needs to be strong and having no complications for the surgery to take place. Please keep this family in your prayers.

Thank you for all the prayers for Melissa and now for Brian and the children... my heart is breaking.

How's your summer? We were so busy with Nikita, and now we have a major house project going, so summer is just FLYING by!
