I just want to share the excitement of the week. Please keep Major in prayers this week. He is having major urological surgery on Thursday afternoon(9/13). The urologist is going to close his vesicostomy(put his bladder back into his body), cut the valves in his urethera(this is the obstruction that caused all the kidney damage), and possible reimplant his ureters into the bladder. Overall, he will be in surgery most of the afternoon and admitted to the hospital for several days. This is the reconstructive surgery that he needs before he can have his transplant. We are thankful that my mom is coming down to help with the girls. I will update you all after surgery this week.
Keep Karroll in your prayers too. He fell down the stairs(about 2-3 steps) at the house this afternoon with Major. As he was trying to protect Major from the fall on the tile, Karroll hurt his shoulder, elbow, and hip. As I write this note, he is being evaluated in the Emergency Room because he was in so much pain. He's a pretty tough guy so I know he must be hurting. I'll write more tomorrow when I hear about the x-ray results.

We will be thinking of all of you and wishing for both of the boys to make a speedy recovery! May his urologic stuff go smoothly and lead to a perfect road map to transplant! Jill
We will be covering you all in prayer this week and after!
Ouch! I hope Karroll isn't injured too seriously and will be "up and about" quickly. We will be in prayer for Major this week as he undergoes his surgery. Our prayer is that all replacements and repairs go smoothly and he will heal quickly as well.
