Austin is in the hospital; a change of plans...



Austin's O2 sats dropped again today... and his cardiologist decided he wanted to see Austin in the doctor's office. They checked his oxygen and heart and made the decision to admit him to the hospital. He is currently in the hospital at UAB and on oxygen. The extra oxygen seems to be helping him and he's somewhat better now than he was earlier today.

Also, Austin's surgery has been moved up. He will have surgery this coming Wednesday, May 16th. It was originally scheduled for late next week, but he can't wait that long. His surgery will be this Wednesday morning.

Stay tuned for further updates, spread the word. And more importantly, KEEP PRAYING!!! Specifically, pray for Austin, pray for him to remain stable. He's also trying to recover from a bad head cold and cough, pray he'll be well enough for surgery. Pray for Andy & Heather, pray for them to have the strength they need for this week. Pray they'll face the coming days with peace. Pray for Dr. Knott-Craig and his team as they prepare for Austin's surgery.

Heather, Andy, and Austin....

Want to let you know that Michael and I will be praying for you. I know its surprising to have the surgery moved up to tomorrow, but sooner he gets it the sooner he will feel better! God's timing is perfect! We pray for the drs wisdom and that God will hold little Austin in his hands through the entire procedure.

Thank you for keeping us up to date with this website. It is helpful so we know what to pray for, when things are happening, and not having to bother you while you have other things on your plate.
Please contact us if you have a more specific need for anything!

Sending many prayers, and hugs!
Amy and Michael
