Dear Praying Friends,
I have put this update off far too long as I have been truly relishing a Christmas Season with no hospital or emergency room visits..We have had a blessed fall with few "medical adventures" as we call them! Tate is feeling well overall and has gained 40+ lbs since he was put on TPN over a year ago... After not growing at all for four years, we have been very thankful for this progress! However, because there are significant risks to being fed long term by IV every night, the next step God has set before us is another endo/colonoscopy on the 4th of January , followed by surgery to remove the most diseased part of his intestines on the 7th of January..both will take place at UCSF and we are told he will probably be in the hospital about a week after the surgery. We would appreciate prayer on Tate's behalf...we are asking God for a successful surgery with the result of him being able to sustain himself "normally" again...we are also asking that we would be faithful witnesses to our Savior and a light for Him wherever and whatever the circumstances, with hearts and minds totally surrendered to God's Perfect Plan for us. Happy New Year! What a treasure it is to know that God is in control!
Love in Christ, Ann Bartholow
