Merry Christmas from the Creeks! There is no doubt that this will be a Christmas our family will never forget. But even with the circumstances as they are, we are able to give thanks to God for the gift of His Son, Jesus. He is the reason we have hope and peace.
Braden is doing well. He enjoyed his first Christmas by opening gifts (with a little help from his three sisters), listening to carols, napping and enjoying a feast of fat free nutrition through a feeding tube! Ah, the life of a six week old.
Tomorrow the doctors are planing to put in his pacemaker. Even if some of his natural rhythms were to return, they still want to implant a pacer, just to be on the safe side. Jenni and I are at peace knowing that God is in control. Of course we don't want to have another operation. But, Dr. Cohen said that if down the road, Braden's heart functions improve and the pacer wasn't needed, they could remove it. So Jenni and I are at the point of waiting on God and releasing it all into His hands.
Right now we would love to think that we could be home sometime next week, but one thing we've learned through this whole process is that you can't schedule anything. That's just the way it is in the world of medicine. Jenni and I just want to bring Braden home healthy and whole, no matter how long it takes!
Thanks again for your support and prayers. We will post an update tomorrow night to let everyone know if the operation was needed and how Braden is doing.
Blessings,
Darth & Jenni
