Ready for Cincy!

Ready for some colder weather!!

The time has come, and we are preparing to leave for Cincinnati tomorrow. Packing winter clothes for ten days can be very challenging! We are so thankful for this opportunity to get a second opinion at the #1 GI children's hospital in the country. Everything has fallen into place with such ease, and we are grateful. Thank you for your prayers throughout the process of getting there. We really do appreciate them all, and we know God is moving.

Thursday morning at 8:30 he will have an exploratory exam under anesthesia and a full tissue biopsy of his colon. Then, Friday we will meet with the GI doctor for the first time, and discuss Beckett and a starting plan. We will then stay in Cincinnati for a full week to implement the plan for eating (hopefully!) and stooling. Lovely, I know...but it's true. We will also have the Cystic Fibrosis specialist there to weigh in on Beckett. However, we should not hear results from that particular testing for weeks. We are hoping for some further help and answers for Beckett's health concerns. We just have to turn over this stone to make sure we are doing everything we can for him.

Please be praying for the safety and "ease" of our trip with a little one. Pray for the doctors to be wise and careful. Please pray that we will have strength and endurance as we do not anticipate much sleep these next couple nights due to the procedure. Please pray for answers and for healing for our little man. We are hoping to leave with a good plan. Thank you so much! I will keep you updated!

Now these pictures I just had to post because they are precious! Please pray for Brant while we are away. He is a little apprehensive about our trip, and we will miss him so much! He will be holding down the fort with all of his grandparents!

An amazing and strong little boy!
