Still in Surgery

Just got an update that he is still in surgery. Things are going well but it is just taking a little longer than expected. Please say some prayers for Elizabeth as she is having some pain in her right shoulder that is making it so she can't get comfortable. They are working on trying to alleviate this for her so please pray. Will keep you posted about Preston Banks.

Preston Banks went back for surgery at 1:30 pm...Prayers Needed

It's a little later than expected but Preston Banks is in surgery. Dan and Elizabeth and family have been in prayer and ask that we all do the same. Will let you know more when there is news.

Surgery Prayers

Just got an update. Preston Banks will be going for surgery sometime between 11 am and 12 noon.

They are trying to decide if they will do surgery in the NICU or in the OR. Please be praying for wisdom for the doctors as they make all necessary decisions. Pray that the Lord will guide and direct as only the Great Physician can.

Surgery should last about 2 hours. They will make an incision in his abdomen (under his ribs). It will depend on the size of the hole as to what type of repair they will do, either just pinching the muscle and stitching it closed or using a patch. Once he is out of surgery they will get him stabilized and perform many of the same assessments that they did right after he was born. Pray for the doctors and nurses that will operate, that they will work accurately, carefully, and with wisdom.

Dan and Elizabeth will be able to see him once he is stable. Please be in prayer for them as they send their baby boy off for surgery and entrust him to the Lord's hands. Pray that their faith continues to be strong and that the Lord's peace is holding them.

I hope to let you know when the surgery does start. Thanks for Praying!!!

Beautiful Boy & Surgery Update

Meet Preston Banks Fitts...

So "Wonderfully Made" and absolutely adorable!

There is a possibility that surgery could be as early as 11 am. That's right this morning. He is doing really good! They did give him a little blood transfusion last night, but it sounds as if that was more in preventative in preparation for surgery so soon. Will let you know more when we know for sure about surgery. Keep praying!!!
