Surgery Buddies!

Brennan's best buddy, Chris, is scheduled for the same Medpor ear reconstructive surgery 2 days after Brennan!!! This is great news because this means they can go through the whole recovery process together! They will be able to go to their numerous post-op appointments and be able to learn how to take care of their new ears together! Not only is this great for Brennan and Chris, it's also such a blessing to have Chris' parents, Susan and CJ, to go through this journey with.
Brennan's ear reconstructive surgery is scheduled on October 12 at Cedars Hospital and Chris' surgery is scheduled on October 14 at CHLA... by the same doctor!!! Chris has to get cleared by his heart doctor and gain some more weight in order to be able to have the surgery done in October. Please keep this little guy in your prayers. Pray that Chris can gain the weight needed and that his heart doctor gives the ok.

On the calendar

May 27 and October 12... Two VERY important dates in 2010. As of now, these are the surgery dates for Brennan.

May 27: Atresia Repair- creating an ear canal and ear drum (to help with hearing and sound localization).

October 12: Medpor Ear Reconstruction- the surgical attachment of a plastic porous material and use of a skin graft to create an ear.

We are excited to get this process started but at the same time terrified to put our little guy through these very serious surgeries. We are at peace that God has planned this for Brennan even before he was born and rest in the fact that our Lord God will be watching over Brennan through everything. We are confindent we are making the best decisions for Brennan and that it will greatly benefit him in the future. We appreciate continued prayers from everyone.
