Prayers for Gavin-UPDATED

As many of you know, Bridget from The Lost Stork, gave birth to her son Gavin a couple of days ago.  He was born with a birth defect known as diaphragmatic hernia.  In a nutshell, there is a hole in his diaphragm and part of his bowels are in his chest cavity.  They knew nothing about this abnormality until Gavin started having trouble breathing soon after birth. 


Gavin went back for his surgery to repair this about 30 minutes ago.  

Please say a prayer that this surgery goes well.  They are going to put his bowels back in the right place and repair the hole.  The hope is that once that is done his lungs will be able to grow properly and work as they should.  A specific prayer for his lungs would be wonderful.

He is such a little fighter and his mama is one of the strongest people I know.  I will update the blog as soon as I know something about the surgery.  Thank you guys so much.


Gavin is out of surgery and doing great!  Bridget hasn't seen him yet but the surgeons said that Gavin did really well during the surgery!!  I knew he was strong like his mama...and his sister ;)  Let's all pray that his little lungs start to work properly now that the hole is fixed!
