Monday is the big day
Max is scheduled for surgery in the morning (Monday). Kelly & John are planning to be at the hospital around 7am to spend some alone time with Max before they take him to surgery. We are not sure exactly what time they are planning to take him to get his preop stuff done. They are planning to start the procedure around 9:30 or 10:00am. The doctor told Kelly & John that they will probably just bring Max back to NICU to recover from surgery. So hopefully once they have him stabilized there Kelly & John will be able to come back. They have told them that he will probably still be on the ventilator and IV. I will try to update tomorrow from my dad's laptop when we know something.
Prayer Requests
~Please pray for Max, that he will be strong, that he will have peace & not feel pain
~Please pray for Dr Burson, the nurses, and techs that will be taking care of Max in surgery. Please pray that they will have wisdom and clarity of mind. Please pray that they will be focused on the task at hand and that they will not have any difficulty placing the shunt
~Please pray for the anesthesiologist that will be putting Max to sleep. Please pray that Max will not have any difficulty with the anesthesia medicine. Please pray for the doctor, that he will be very aware and focused on Max and what he needs.
~Please pray for Max as he recovers from surgery. Please pray that he will not have any complications, that he will be able to be weaned from the ventilator without any problem.
~Please pray that Max's blood sugar will remain stable during the stress of the surgery and recovery period
~Please pray for Kelly & John. Please pray that they will have peace and understanding. Please pray that they will feel God's arms around them and around Max as they kiss him and hand him over to the surgery staff in the morning. Please pray that they will be able to rest and that the rest that they get will be sufficient for them. Please pray that they will gain strength from God and from each other
~Please pray for us as their family, that we will be the support that they need, that we will know when to talk and when to be quiet, that we will know when to be present and when to leave them alone as a family
~Please pray for communication and compassion from Dr Burson and the nurses tomorrow
~Please pray that the shunt will be effective and that Max will grow up and be able to lead a completely normal, healthy life
We will never be able to thank you enough for your prayers. Please pray without ceasing on Monday.
We love Max and we keep praying,
Karie

Hi! My name is Amberly Cicero and I live in Montgomery, Alabama. My husband, Jason, and I are friends of Brent and Amanda Adams. We have been praying for Max for the last couple of weeks and will be praying for him this morning as well. As a mom of three, I know how much you love your children and can only imagine how hard it must be right now to be going through this with Max. But the greatest comfort we have is knowing that you all are not alone. God is with you and is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all we might ask or think. Take comfort in that as Max goes through his surgery today and while he recovers. Our love and prayers are with you all!
It's Monday morning at 10am our time...we've started praying for Max, the doctors and nurses, and John and Kelly. We will continue to pray till we hear anything. We love ya'll!
This morning is the big day and my prayers and thoughts are with Max, you all, the docs and nurses. I hope things go very well and that Max and you all can get relief and peace from the tough past weeks. God is with you! Love to you all.
