Surgery is scheduled for 12:30pm ET
We're checking in and Edward is quite displeased with the pre-op dietary restrictions (no solid food after midnight, no breast milk after 6:30am, and no clear liquids after 8:30am)! At least he's still breastfeeding so was able to have an early morning snack. =)
The procedure(s) is expected to take 3.5 hours, so hopefully we'll have more news later this evening.

Bless his heart!!! It must be hard when you are so young to understand WHY mommy and daddy won't let you eat or drink. Praying for you all today! Thanks for sharing updates.
I just prayed with a friend for him and will continue to pray over the next hours. Hugs to you all!
Just sent up a prayer for all of you......God is holding you up in His Righteous Right Hand..... We will continue to pray!
Blessings to all of you, remember to call me if you need anything... Marjorie
3ABN Trust Services stopped and had special prayer for Edward and family at his scheduled surgery time.
Raytha O'Connell: Prayers ascending, claiming Psalms 139:5,; James 5:15; Psalms 103:3; Matthew 7:7 God's presence in the surgical suite, and guiding the surgeon's hands, granting him Divine discernment!
Prayers will ascend to our Holy Father continually...
I am anxiously awaiting your updates on Edward. My family and I are praying.
Praying for little Edward and family! One good thing about surgery, he is sleeping so he won't remember that he's hungry - our son was in surgery at a similar age so I well remember this scenario...
Dearest Kameron, Emilie and Henry, We just heard the news about precious Edward. We are praying for him and can only imagine what you are going through. Uncle Bud and Aunt Andi Jordan
Continued prayers for the doctors hands and a speedy recovery for Edward!
Dear Edward, Grammie and Grandaddy are praying for you! We have prayed that your Angel would be beside you even as you sleep peacefully through your surgery. We have prayed that your anesthesia provider is competent, compassionate and calm, that your surgeon is skillful and wise. We know that doctors and nurses can diagnose and treat you (medically and surgically), but only Jesus can heal you. We are so thankful that your Mommie has been so careful to feed you wonderful vegetables and fruit, and that you are a healthy little boy. We have prayed for your Mommie and Daddy, your 3 year old big brother and best playmate Henry, as well as for your Nannie and Poppie. So many people love you and are praying for you. I attempted to post this once before I actually registered, so if something similar manages to find its way here, I'm sure you won't mind, mainly because you can't read.
Oh, precious friends, prayer is ascending, and will continue to ascend on behalf of Edward and all of you.
Dear friends, We join you in prayers. We will bring Edward tonight to our Let's Pray global community - "where you don't have to prayer alone!" Hugs!
Praying for Little Edward's medical team, "family team" and the "family's physical and spiritual support team"! We wish we were closer, but we know you are where God wants you at this moment! What a wonderful feeling to know you are all in His Care! The doctor should be coming out with words anytime now. Blessings!
Praying for all of you throughout the day. Knowing God loves your little guy more than you can even imagine. What a great God we serve.
