Biopsy scheduled

Tomorrow morning Caroline will have a lung biopsy. We check in at 9:45am and the procedure will be around 11. We have read it takes 30-60 minutes. Caroline will probably go to the ICU for precaution and then will be back on the pulmonary floor for 3-5 days. The pulmonologist has told us we may not get any answers and that is because the medical field is just naive to these types of newly characterized/named lung diseases. If the lung biopsy does not provide us with a clear diagnosis, the pulmonologist will begin a trial of steroid treatments.

We are praying Caroline handles the anesthesia well and that her pain be very minimal and controlled well. We pray the surgeon (Dr. Mendelson) gets exactly what is needed. We pray for Caroline to feel comforted by her Maker when she's away from us and in the care of others. We pray she knows she is loved and that we can care for her well during her recovery. We do pray for a diagnosis as well, something to provide us with direction and knowledge for her future. Nonetheless, we know Jesus holds Caroline's future if we understand and can predict it or not. We also pray for Jett, that he would also be comforted when he fears mommy and daddy being away for a long time. We pray God protects his mind and his heart. We pray for each physician, nurse, tech, and housekeeper who will care for us over the next few days. We pray they will see Jesus in us and in Caroline's bright eyes.

Thank you for praying for us!
