The latest from Grandma
Tara - "Philip is not coming home yet--his necrotising enterocolitis is healed--but he has another problem--that he's had all along--he has GERD--gastroesphogeal reflux disease. It's so bad that acid from his little stomach is coming up his esophagus and he is aspirating the acid into his lungs--not a good thing, it is causing inflammation and swelling, which is causing breathing problems and he has a strong potential for developing aspiration pneumonia. But the good news is, that they can perform surgery on him, so in the next few days--as soon as we can get a surgeon and a surgery time--Philip will have surgery to correct the problem. He is getting bigger, and dang is he ever cute, hopefully the next time I go to see him again--I'll take my camera and take more pictures. So here I am asking you to pray for him again--that the surgery will correct the problem--and that he will be able to eat food through his mouth without any difficulty, and that he will come home soon--we miss him so much! "
On Wednesday I will offer my
Rosary and
Divine Mercy Chaplet for Philip at
Adoration. I will also be making another
Novena to the Infant of Prague. Please join me.
