Good luck tomorrow Connor!

The surgery will for sure be tomorrow, we just have no idea what time. Bryan and I are planning on being there about 7:30, the surgery would for sure not be before 8, so hopefully it gets scheduled for the morning, but we will not know until tomorrow. They are scheduling 3 hours for the surgery, should be about 2-3, but just wanted to schedule enough time.

We also spoke with the anesthesiologist. She explained how they will put Connor to sleep, how they'll monitor him, etc. They all seem very confident that it's a pretty routine surgery, even our new night nurse that came on tonight said she has seen lots of babies with this syndrome, so they're used to seeing it here at Childrens.

Mom and Dad got to hold him tonight for about 20 minutes each. Connor woke up when daddy was holding him, lucky dad!

Praying for Connor to 'pull through' with the 'pull through' surgery. Ha, I'm so clever.

Mommy can't wait to take a family photo where we get to actually 'get ready' and attempt to make ourselves (k, just me, Bryan and Connor are cute) look decent :)

I love your new header. :) We had a re-affirmation of baptism surgery today in church - couldn't help but think of you. Connor has beautiful eyes - glad you got such good photos. God's blessings to your little family.

Bodes and Loulas-
I was gone for the past couple of days and i'm just catching up on your crazy weekend! I'm saying my prayers that everything goes smoothly for Connor tommorrow but can assure you Childrens is the best place for him to be. What a cutie pie! Love you all and can't wait to meet him when he's home!

OK so I am just now getting back to this blogging thing and am holding back tears sitting here at work reading all that i've missed. I thought for sure that you would be home already. I am so sorry to here about the problems your little man is having. He is so sweet. I hope and pray everything goes ok. I will definitely pray for him tonight and tomorrow. Be strong. Everything happens for a reason....just not sure y, but God's got a plan. Stay strong. Love and Prayers....

P.S. I know I wrote the same thing on a different blog page but I didn't know if you'd get it if it's not on the most recent one.....:-) Have a good night.

You have a beautiful boy! Good luck with the surgery. Christy and Bryan, hang in there… this is just small hill in the roller coaster ride we all call parenthood. Keep fighting the good fight, you both are amazing! I pray that everything works out.

The Prayer Chain here at Immanuel is praying hard for Conner. May the Lord guide the surgeons hands,
May He keep you, the parents in his care. Your faith is shining through in the pictures and messages. Trust in the Lord!

Well Connor your last name is Bode so you have nothing to fear. Bode's all ways come out on top when things look bad. With the large Bode family you have plenty of support behind you.

God Bless,
