Plasmapheresis, Port, and Prayer

This morning doctors explained Christian will need a surgical procedure to put in a port in order to receive the plasmapheresis treatment.  This was a bit of a surprise to Danielle.  He will not be able to eat/drink for several hours and this presents some challenges.  She anticipates him to be in surgery sometime late afternoon or early evening.

Please pray for Christian's comfort and protection.  The plasmapheresis treatment will most likely begin tomorrow.  Please pray for success with this treatment.  There have not been any changes in Christian over the past several days.  The hope is this treatment will bring the much prayed for improvements.

Thank you for your continued support and encouragement of the Smith Family.  

"Those who wait on the Lord....shall walk and not faint."  Isaiah 40:31

  4. My husband has been recieving treatments for a while now, and it is a slow process. He is going to be the first person with a new double port implanted into the chest, they are doing the surgery tomorrow. So what I can tell you from experience is to keep the faith and it will be slow, but will hopefully make a big difference. I will keep you family in my prayers and hope a speedy recovery for him.
