Casa Isonzo

Samuel’s ablation procedure was postponed for today. The surgeon came down with the flu. The first time he has had to call in sick in 17 years! Considering all the factors we are dealing with at the moment we know it is God’s providential timing. Samuel is continuing to battle a fever and it would be best to get that under control prior to having the procedure done. Since he has had a fever for 3 days the doctors are going to give him a precautionary treatment of antibiotics to make sure he is free of infection by Monday.

Last night Samuel slept well but was having frequent episodes of tachycardia that would correct themselves after 30 seconds or so. He was moved back in to ICU today and will remain here until Tuesday. He is back on his IV medication to try to keep these episodes under control. His ablation is now rescheduled for Monday at 2:00pm

Here is how you can pray:

-Pray that Samuel's fever will go away completely

-Pray for us as we are alternating good and bad days (depending on whose night it was to sleep at the hospital)

-Pray for Emma and Luca. They are having a particularly hard time having Samuel and their parents gone.

-Pray for Jonathan's parents, Tim & Lora. They are a tremendous support to us running between the hospital and taking over primary care for the two little ones over the past few days. We are all very tired and ask that you pray for strength and health for all as we are battling colds on different levels.

-Pray for our testimony and witness to the doctors and nurses and that Christ would be glorified in our lives and through this situation.

Thank you for all of your prayers on our behalf and for your emails. We have yet to read them all, but please know that they are serving as a huge encouragement to us during this time.
