A Small Favor.....
Our kids are getting very nervous about Rhett being in Surgery tomorrow. We have told them that he has a ton of people praying for him, but I don't think they quite understand how many.
So today and tomorrow I am asking for all of the lurkers on our blog to leave a comment, and yes, you can comment anonymously. Our older kids will be checking the blog to look for new comments over the next two days.
Any posts and updates will be added to the bottom of this post. Thank you so much for the prayers and the comments, I think it will help our children get through this a little better.
HUGS!!

Update #1........
We are set to be up at PCMC at 8:15 am. Surgery is scheduled for 10:00 am MST.
Thank you for the comments. Dakota, Hunter, and Chloee are all loving coming to the computer and seeing the love shown for our family.

Update #2
Rhett just had a blessing, and we are feeling very good about this surgery and his recovery. We are completley uplifted by all of your prayers. I cannot even begin to describe the sense of peace we have right now.
We are off to bed for the night.

Update # 3
Happy World Down Syndrome Day!!!
Today is also Good Friday. How could this not be a good day for surgery right?
We are just getting ready to head to the hospital. It's 6:15 am........
I have taken a deep breath and am ready to face the world.
Bring it on Baby, Bring it on..........
((HUGS))
Pam and the rest of the Bird Flock.
------------------------------------------------
UPDATE # 4
We are out of surgery and resting in the PICU. The first thing we saw when we walked through the doors was the nurse that overdosed him. Talk about a flood of emotions. I am okay, but Andy is really struggling.
They took out the tonslis, and decided to just trim the uvula. They did do some reconstructing of his muscles though to bring them up rather than them falling down and collapsing. Right now they are only giving him Tylenol. They are really trying to keep him a little on the uncomfy side so that he is not on Narcotics, and not having his respritory system depressed.
He has already kicked his IV out, and had about 6 other pokes after that to get a new one in. He is sleeping right now after it taking 6 of us to hold him down for an IV. Dang he's strong. That's my boy!!! :)
So now we just wait and see how he does. I will update later when I get a chance, or if anything major changes.
Thank you again for all of your prayers.
((HUGS))

Update #5
Wow he is in alot of pain. We are trying to get him to take some rootbeer slushie, or ice chips or something, but he is having none of it. He is currently sporting a "Ladies Man" Bib to help with all of the drool that he is producing.
BUT-----His breathing is great. Saturating at 100 on 1 liter of 02......WHILE SLEEPING.
We are also getting a consult with a new GI surgeon, and a GI Dr.
His cardiologist wasn't even supposed to be at the hospital today, but came in to visit with us and to make sure Rhett made it through surgery okay. Now that is ONE AWESOME DOCTOR!!!
Other than that we have had a slew of visitors that have taken care of him previously while in the PICU. Once word got round that he was here everyone had to come get some love from the Rhett Man.
Andy is staying with me for dinner tonight. They kick us out of the PICU for shift change at 7 pm so Andy and I will have dinner then he will go home to take care of our other 3 chicklets.
The childlife specialist made us a very cute poster for World Down Syndrome Awareness Day. He has it hanging in his window. How's that for spreading awareness???
Thank you again for all of the prayers, I really can't thank you enough. They have really helped. I am in awe at the support we have. We love each and every one of you.

Hi kids! You wouldn't believe the number of people prayer not just for Rhett, but for your whole family. Let's see, there's the 3 of us in our house, my mother, her great-grandmother's village in Italy is saying a mass for Rhett, I've emailed all of Nik's old nurses and therapists (well over a dozen), friends in NY, FL, VA, GA, CA, CT...I'm sure I missed some. Oh, and my mother's cousin in Iowa has added Rhett to her daily prayer circle. AND they're all spreading the word!
I know it's a scary time right now; try to stay strong and keep on living life the way you do every day! :-)
Sending lots of love from Nik and his mom and dad.
Count us in for the prayer tally, Pam and family... long and often. I am staying up late nights with Jacqui right now as she is very ill and as often as I am praying for her, I am praying for Rhett's upcoming surgery. I have set aside time to pray tomorrow too and will be anxiously awaiting the news. Lots of prayers to all of you.

He'll be home and back to his smiling self again soon.

Our prayers are your family as we know what you are going through. We have a little fighter of our own named Zoey Grace. She has 5 brothers and sisters who love her to pieces, as we know you love Rhett. He is so lucky to have you guys. We are sure your mom and dad are so proud of you. Keep up the great job you are doing holding down the fort and know that people that you don't even know, like us, are praying hard for your strong little brother. Visit Zoey at our blog if you have time.

Kim S sent me your way...
Contribution to paying the bills made and lots of prayers coming your way. Rhett is a beautiful little boy and you all are one special family.
P.S you commented on the bruising in your older child. You may want to look into Vit K and Vit D supplementation, did wonders for both me and my Salamander (both of us used to bruise like crazy; turns out that especially Vit K is essential for proper platelet function).
Hugs,
Praying for your special little boy and the whole family
I know how scary it is to have someone you love go thru something like this, but stay strong guys. your little brother needs your love and strength. My whole family will be praying for you and Rhett. You guys inspire strength
Rhett, we will be praying for you and your sweet family. You have a precious heart and are very fortunate to have so many people who love you and worry about you.
Our little Claira had her surgery last year the day after Easter. Her big brother and 4 big sisters were very just like you guys. Dakota, Hunter and Chloee, our whole family understands your worries and we'll be thinking of you guys this weekend.
Mom ... my heart is with you! You must have an amazing family, or Heavenly Father wouldn't ask so much of you!
Love,
Susan ... Teej, Kiwi, LooLoo, Mad, Ebbles & Claira
Hello! All of us are thinking of your family and Rhett today and always. We know he will do ok! Johnny says it's tough for a while but he knows you can do this Rhett and you boys will be recovering together from afar. (though we wish it were closer) Pam, keep reminding yourself what I keep trying to tell my head voice that never shuts up. "this is what needs to happen for a stronger little guy and we're looking at the big picture here. Strength and health." Huge hugs girl. I understand.
I am Chelsea's grandma, and I will be praying for your family. I think Rhett is the SWEETEST!
Our prayers are with Rhett, the Bird Flock and entire surgical/recovery team. Our thoughts will be with you tomorrow. Stay strong and believe! lots of hug and love!

Rhett is so blessed to have siblings that care and love him so much. We are sending our prayers all the way from Philadelphia, PA. Hugs & Kisses - Terry & Noah
Rhett is so lucky to be blessed with a family that loves him asmuch as you all do. He will fell that love as he goes into surgery and it will give him the strength that he needs. We will be praying for him now and after his surgery as well.
We are praying for Rhett and the rest of your family. It has to be a good sign that tomorrow is World Down Syndrome Awareness Day. God will be keeping an extra close eye on your strong little guy.
I am praying for you and your family. I know everything will go perfectly!!! :-)
Many prayers for Rhett and your whole family.
Our family is also praying for you. We will be fasting for Rhett in the morning and praying throughout the day. There is a total of 50 extended family members doing this.
That little boy is in good hands.
My thoughts and prayers are coming from Pennsylvania to Rhett, your entire family, and the doctors & surgeons. I hope and pray that his surgery goes smoothly and he recovers quickly. He is a lucky and blessed little boy to be so loved and cared for by so many.

Hang tight, sister! I know; no really, I don't know, but I can imagine how you both felt seeing the nurse. Tears here reading that. I so feel for you. Kiss that strong boy for me (a BIG kiss, okay?!). Everything will be fine. Love you and PRAISE GOD for giving all of you courage and you, Pam, insight...so much insight. xxx
What a strong handsome little guy you have! Best wishes!

I am praying for you little Rhett! You are such a tough little kid! I love the spirit I see in the videos of you! What a special little angel! I am praying for you and your family!
(You don't know me, I am friends with Brynn!)
I jumped over here from Banana Migraine. I know the surgery is over, but recovery is not fun either. I just wanted to let you know I was praying for you and your family and little Rhett. He is such a cutie!
I'm glad to hear that Rhett is doing well on oxygen, that's great. I hope that his pain subsides soon.
We alternated Tylenol and Ibuprofen every three hours for E...for a WEEK. Twice they used morphine, but only twice. She didn't have to have anything trimed although they expected they would.
Anyway...many hugs to you and your family from our house to yours.
Rebecca
Glad surgery is over, thanks God. Everything will be ok.
Lost of prayers and support from Puerto Rico.

Rhett and family you are in our prayers coming from Nevada. I read your story all of the time but this carries loving thoughts and prayers also for the doctors and nurses. Give Rhett a kiss from us,
Glad surgery is all over and I hope his recovery will be short. It took T 10 days. That was with T&A and his pallet shaved whatever that means. Tristan and I are sending Rhett big hugs and high fives. Poor little guy, Not fair when little ones have to be in pain. I will continue to pray for your family!
Still thinking about you guys! I hope Rhett is having less pain today!
Glad to hear you are doing so well post op Rhett. Keep strong and know that we are praying for you all. God Bless.. Tracey and Conor (T21online)
