Prayer Request

My great-nephew & his mom need prayers. This is her last Grant update per her status:
Today was a really bad day. I went to see Grant before surgery and was informed that he has MRSA, which is a form of staph and is spread by contact. I truly am convinced (but can not prove)that this was spread by poor practice by some nurses as the babies (twins) next to Grant have it and are in "isolation" for the remaineder of their stay. Well wouldn't you know that their nurses are the same as Grants. I have seen negligence on their part making it highly probably that it was spread that way. I know that MRSA is spread very easily and alot of ppl carry it, but to know it may have been prevented makes me furious. Grant has done so well and now to be informed of this makes me very angry. We have been "OCD" crazy and gone over and beyond to scrub up and alchohol ourselves if we touch ANYTHING. I had already complained that if the twins were in "isolation" then they should have their own nurse. In the event that Grant were to have an emergency and if they had to come running in ....which DID HAPPEN last night, it could have easily been the point of infection! Grant also had another episode of not breathiing again today. They were able to bring him back a little easier today, but by the time they got to him he had already turned real blue. Please pray that Grant's test will come back negative each time they test again for MRSA and that when he is old enough he can be treated and it can go away for good..sometimes it doesn't go away and can cause skin lesions later in life. We already reported this to the hospital and hope that something can be done so that this does not happen again for other babies.

I was informed of this literally 30 minutes before I was to meet for surgery so needless to say I was an emotional wreck going into surgery. Our relationship with the Lord and your prayers are what are getting us through everthing, so keep them coming please.

My praises...

Today my surgery went fine. They were able to remove the stones and the gallbladder with no complications. Praise God it went smoothly...now if I can just get some sleep (which I actually want to so badly but can't because of all of the stress).

Grant's first eye exam came back normal.!tatus:
