Something to pray about.

Overall, Ayden is doing well. He does, however, have a couple of things going on that we would prefer get rectified. One of those issues is why he is under his little plastic tent. Another is the problems the doctors are having with getting the necessary IV lines in him.

He has had one in his belly button from the beginning, which is providing his medication, but they really want a second one so they can draw blood to do tests. They have tried several different methods several different times and, so far, none of them have worked. It's tough with little ones, because their veins are so small and so thin. They have a tendency to just collapse. The second line is really important because, with only having the one line right now, they have to stop his medication so they can use that line to draw blood.

They are currently again - or, more accurately, still - trying to get this set up how they want it. So, again, if you are looking for something specific to pray about between now and the surgery, this would be a big one. Having his oxygen levels get into the desired range so he doesn't need his little plastic tent would be another.
