February 28, 201214 yr My Grandson, Garrett Stewart will be 5 this Sunday. He is getting a CT Scan at this moment in preparation for surgery tomorrow. He has a shunt due to having hydrocephalus. The shunt will have to be branched and extended to a pocket of fluid in the back of his head. This pocket of fluid is close to his brain stem. Your prayers for the surgical team and Garrett would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Jerry
February 28, 201214 yr Our prayers have been expressed for wholeness and the welfare of your grandson Garrett Stewart and his family. Our request includes that blessing be on the Surgeons (that they may be able to successfully do what is required to establish a healthy balance of pressure) and for all others who may contribute in any way for a successful outcome. Thank you for the opportunity to allow us to join in with you and others for the benefit of your grandson. Ted Throckmorton
February 29, 201214 yr Jerry our prayers are with you and your grandson may God bless and keep you all. Woody & Jackie
February 29, 201214 yr Prayers sent for fast and healthy recovery of your grandson and for the surgeons to have steady, guided hands to do their work.
February 29, 201214 yr Author Garrett is out of surgery. Doc said all went well. He is now in the PICU and we can visit. He is awake but hurting. Thank you for the prayers and please keep them coming. Jerry
March 1, 201214 yr Jerry, Although, I do not always respond to the requests on the board, I do say the prayers. My request last year took my father from death's door and gave us another year and counting. Dad was legally dead long enough that when he came back with stories of angels and heaven, the entire ICU hit their knees. I/we will keep Garrett on our prayer list update us often. Thanks Dave
March 23, 201214 yr My prayers are being sent along with the heart felt relief of a father to hear the little one is doing well. May God be with you all. Remember, Sorrow is divided and joy multiplied with good friends and family. We do care.
March 24, 201214 yr Author Thank you all for the thoughts and prayers. He is doing well and is set for a CT Scan in a couple of weeks. We are thinking the shunt will need some adjusting. Frosty, Jim, Katie & Slade are on their way north. They should end up in Haines for a while and plan to get back to Anchorage. Quite a drive from South Texas.
March 27, 201214 yr Prayers for your grandson, his mother and father and for grandparents, all of them that they may have God's peace during this time. Jerry
March 28, 201214 yr Jerry, Susie and I are Praying for Garrett and his continued recovery as well as all of you. PRAISES to Our FATHER, HE is on HIS Throne!
