Have you seen my spleen?

Zane spent yesterday (Monday) getting IVIG, a blood product to increase his platelets to prepare him for surgery. We were scheduled for surgery on Thursday, but it has been changed to Monday. Only reason it was changed was due to the surgeon's schedule. Not a big deal, but will now need to rearrange life, work, etc. to accomodate the new schedule.

His spleen removal will, God willing, heal him of his blood disorder, called ITP. He can then be taken off steroids, which are obviously not good on his body. (It also disqualifies him for the Tour de France, but that's not a big worry right now!)

Pray for him please. He has been in and out of hospitals quite a bit in his short life, and is amazingly brave. So maybe you ought to pray for his parents even more. The surgery success rate is 90%, and that is not even based on the power of prayer. Join us in praying for a completely healed little 5 year old.
