Alex and his memereTomorrow morning Alex undergoes a 4-5 hour surgical procedure to insert a permanent feeding tube.
It is an extremely risky surgery and one the Dr's say he potentially might not survive.
From what I understand, the riskiest part is in the recovery room as he comes out of the anesthesia.
If all goes well he will be in the hospital for about 5 days and then home where hospice will be there to help.
I am so grateful for all the prayers and concerns.
I am taking this one day at a time and am daily reminding myself of this verse in the Word:
"Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about it's own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble." Matthew 6:34
We are facing huge battles here and I could not do this without the One who gave me new life.
Love and blessings,
Cindy
UPDATE:
Alex had surgery this morning and it went very well. Feeding tube is inserted in his stomach and they were able to take him off the surgical breathing tube almost immediately after surgery.
If all continues to go well, he will be coming home by Sunday where they will have hospice there to assist them.
Thanks to all for your prayers and support.
I hope to get back to some more traditional FarmgirlCyn style posting real soon!

Prayers and thoughts are with you from us.
Before Alex comes home or after he comes home after surgery, if you feel like it contact these people to see if they have a photographer in your area that will come out to you and take beautiful photographs of Alex and his parents.

I was telling my young niece to pray and she is a L&D Tech at our largest hospital. She's currently trying to get a local photgrapher to do this for our area.
Little Alex is so cute, I just want to hug him. I will pray for you all~the verse in Matthew is perfect and comforting.
You are often on my mind. Praying for you and Alex and the family.

Oh, my heart breaks for you all.
He is such a cutie!
Know that I am here for you.
I will be lifting Alex and your family in prayer, especially tomorrow. May God be in the midst of each of you!
I am praying for you and sweet Alex. My baby girl had heart surgery at 1 month old - before I was able to take her home from the hospital. God was with me, and God will be with you. My baby is now 10 years old and completely healthy. I will be praying for you all. My "baby" is a walking testament of God's goodness and healing. I'll be thinking and praying for you.
Praying here, now for your hearts...
for God's presence to be felt
for comfort
for family strength
for a dear sweet child of God

Jesus cares for the little children! What a blessing to know that He sees and knows all that is going on in little Alex's body and that He holds this little one in His hand.
I pray that peace from Our Heavenly Father wraps around each and every one of you in the family as you walk through this valley of trial; that you sense His very presence with you each moment; that your strength is renewed daily; and for miracles that will be beyond belief in anything this earthly world can offer!
You have our prayers for this little precious boy!
May the Lord Grant the Doctor's Wisdom and Work and Guide their Hands...In and During the Surgery...and Give Alex Comfort and Stability during Recovery...Much Love to you My friend..
In Christ

I only came across your blog this weekend, but I hope your sweet little man will be ok. I don't have anything profound to say, just that I wanted you to know that I am thinking of you all.
I have not been in blog land for a few days so I am just seeing your posts now.
I am going to pray right now for your precious little guy and his family. I also pray for wisdom for the doctors and medical team.
Thinking of you..........
Little Alex is such a darling cute baby, he looks so snuggleable. I have been and continue to pray for you.
I'm thinking of and praying for you and your family.
I've been in prayer this morning for Alex.
May God's grace shine on his precious face.
Looking for a miracle!
Oh SUCH good news Cindy! Been praying for you all this day.
In His Love,
Camille
Wonderful news! Thank you for sharing. Continuing to pray.
Praise God! I am so glad that Alex made it through surgery and is doing good. Will continue to pray for his total recovery. Also praying for your/his parents strength for the road to recovery. May God bless and keep you all in His loving arms.
Praise God it went well - & thanks for the update - I was wondering how he went.
Will continue praying for this precious bub.

My thoughts and prayers are with Alex. His surgery was on the date of my son's 36th birthday. Isn't life amazing? He will do well.
still praying in LA for your family. May the Lord bless and keep you and yours during this most challenging time. May the presence of the God of all comfort be felt strongly by each of you now and always. The Lord be with each of you.
I am so sorry that this is happening. I wish that it was not. So so sorry....
Keeping my fingers tightly crossed for Alex and the rest of the family. I have been going through a different but similar situation with my grandson, so I know how you must be feeling - my love and thoughts are with you all.
Babs xxxx
You and yours are in my prayers that the Holy Spirit will comfort you all. I am so sorry, my heart is breaking.
