Anthony Update

Anthony has been doing so well and they hope to be able to take him home sometime later this month. He does have to undergo eye surgery today, so please lift him up in your prayers. Here is the official update from Ana....

WE CAME TO VIST ANTHONY TODAY AT 3:30PM AND HE IS DOING GREAT. HE IS UP TO 5 LBS 120Z AND FEEDING WELL. WE ALSO TOOK THE CPR CLASS TONIGHT WHICH WAS AT 630PM AND IT WAS VERY INFORMATIVE. WELL AFTER THE CLASS WE CAME TO VIST ANTHONY AGAIN. THE NURSE LET US KNOW THAT THE EYE DOCTOR WAS COMING TOO EXAM ANTHONY. WE WERE GLAD TO BE HERE BUT ALSO NERVOUS TO LEARN THE RESULTS.WE HAD HOPED THAT THEY WOULD REMAINE THE SAME. AFTER THE EYE EXAM THE DOCTOR INFORMED US THAT ANTHONY WILL NEED TO HAVE THE EYE SURGERY AFTER ALL. THAT NEWS JUST MADE OUR HEARTS DROP TO THE GROUND. NOW OUR BABY WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH ANOTHER ROUGH TIME. THE DOCTOR THEN INFORMED US ON THE PROCEDURES AND WHAT THE OUT COME WOULD BE IF HE DID NOT HAVE EYE SURGERY AND IF HE DID. WE HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO SAY YES. THAT WAS THE ONLY OPTION. HE WILL HAVE EYE SURGERY ON 06 JAN 2009 AT 12 NOON. WE JUST WANT FOR EVERYONE TO KEEP HIM IN YOUR PRAYERS. WE KNOW HE WILL DO FINE. HE'S OUR "TOUGH GUY". WE HOPE THAT HE GETS HIS FAVORITE NURSE TO GO WITH HIM TO THE SURGERY ROOM. WE WILL LET YOU KNOW HOW IT WENT TOMORROW.
