Well, our sweet little Ford needs your prayers. For the most part, he is doing really great! He does have some kidney issues, hydronephrosis and a very LARGE kidney stone. Tomorrow his urologist is going to go and put a stint in one of his ureters in order to drain some of the urine out of his right kidney and hopefully help pass the kidney stone. It sounds simple enough and I am sure it is, but as any mother would be, I am scared and nervous. The part that scares us is the fact that he will have to be put under anesthesia again and be intubated. He has come such a long way with his lungs... I just want him to quickly come of the vent and not depend on it like he did for so many months.
I know we ask you for prayers constantly and we have not been blogging and keeping you updated like we should, but we have been swamped being parents of two very active twins who need us 24/7. I just want you to know how much we have appreciated you all who keep up and pray for the boys. I always tell people it is all of our prayers that helped Ford and Hayden come so far and continue to do so.
We are in Fort Worth tonight. We were not planning on this procedure just yet so my mother had to bring us clothes and all the twins stuff. We are hoping Ford will only need one night in the hospital as that is the plan. I am confident in his surgeon and know we will be home to you soon. I don't know if there are any other mothers out there that immediately go to the worst case scenario in a scary situation like this... why I worry about that stuff I don't know because I know God is going to bring Ford through this. I just feel so guilty for thinking those negative thoughts... I put them out of my head but I wish I never went there, ya know? I also feel like I haven't thanked the Good Lord enough for our little miracles, but I am so thankful... even when I am tired to the point of tears because we have only managed a couple hours of sleep in a day because the boys sometimes need to eat every 3 hours... even when the boys are crying and I don't know why, even when they spit up their milk all over you... it's PERFECT PARENTHOOD, our perfect parenthood with Sweet Ford and Sweet Hayden. This is me saying I wouldn't want it any other way... I need Ford and Hayden all the days of my life no matter how difficult the ride. That, I need the Lord to know if I haven't spoken it enough and thanked him enough.
Well, Ford's procedure is at 2:30... I pray you will be thinking about him and praying for him... he really is the sweetest little boy. His brother has been helping me pray for Ford. Hayden is doing wonderful. He is here with us. His biggest problem is his wheezing and we are hoping time will help him grow out of that.
Thanks for being here for us yet again!
Sincerely,
Dana, Trey, Ford and Hayden

Thanks for the update sweetie. Your Ford baby will be in our prayers. I will be just thanking our marvelous Savior for His will being done in Ford's life.
God bless and keep ya'll.
dbreheDana, please don't feel guilty for being human. We all let ourselves get in the way of knowing God will take care of it all. That is our nature. But, we quickly remember to TRUST OUR HEAVENLY FATHER. I will continue to pray for all of you. Special prayers for Lil Ford as he goes through this procedure. Thank you for the update. We all know if you are keeping us updated daily you can't be fully focused on your precious babies, we all want you & Trey to rest while you can & we know that when you all can,you will update us. God Bless you all!!
Thank you for the update and to let us know of your prayer needs. I don't know you personally but, I just know you are a wonderful mommy! God KNOWS your heart, Dana. He knows ALL! He will never leave you and loves you so much. Meanwhile you're human :o) ..please be good to yourself...for the glory of God as well as for you, your husband and your beautiful little boys! You all continue to be in our prayers. Will be thinking of Ford tomorrow. God bless, B&BRowland
I will be praying for Ford today, and also for you. My baby had to have surgery when he was one and it TERRIFIED me. You are human and even as Christians, it is hard not to think the worst. God is faithful. My husband always tells me "it's going to be ok, and even if its not ok, its still ok". Sounds silly until you really think about it. Ford will do wonderfully I am sure. Thanks for the update and please let us know how surgery went when you get a moment. May God hold you a little tighter today!
Please don't feel guilty for the questions, request's and concerns. Your a Mom, and it will be this way forever. Even with your Mom, she still looks at you as her baby just as you do the twins right now. It will always be this way. Very soon the boys will be on their feet running around and playing, healthy, and this will be another tiny down time compared to what you guy's have already been through. They grow up soooo fast. Enjoy every minute. You guy's are in our prayers.
