Dear all,
Just a quick update on the start time of Isaac's surgery. We confirmed that his surgery will start from 9:30 am to 10:00 am Tokyo time tomorrow, which is:
-10:30 am to 11:00 am Sydney time
- 8:30 am to 9:00 am Hong Kong time
- 8:30 pm to 9:00 pm Wednesday Eastern Standard time
You can also check the time conversion on here - http://www.worldtimeserver.com/time_converter.aspx?f=JP
We don't know how long the entire procedure will take but it might take up to 4 or more hours. Also, we have been told that so long as Isaac is stable, we can spend a lot more time with him than usual because its his day of surgery so we might be in NICU for a while and may not be able to update promptly or receive calls while we are in there. But we should be able to post something before we are allowed into NICU for the long visit.
Isaac's CRP/infectious score was 0.1 today, which basically equals zero - praise the Lord! However, his eye check up today confirmed that he has Stage 2 ROP (Retinopathy of Prematurity). Isaac will get another eye check up next week to see if he needs laser surgery for his ROP. Laser surgery is a much, much simpler surgery than the heart surgery Isaac is getting tomorrow so we are not overly worried. But please do pray for his vision and his eyes as well.
We have a very early start tomorrow so I will sign off for now. We really appreciate all of your prayers!
God bless,
Sonia

Hello Dearest Sonia and Jong,
We will pray for little Isaac today...
I am sorry that both Charles and I are not good with words, but please know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers everyday.
I will pray with my friends at Mountain View United Methodist Church tonight at 8:30 PM EST. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family today and always.
Love in Christt,

Sonia, Jong and Isaac,
Isaac, I am praying like crazy for a quick and successful surgery. I have faith in God and remember, you have your big sister as your angel protector.
Sonia and Jong,
It is quite possible for his ROP to resolve itself or it may well be easily correctable with surgery. I would have been surprised if he didn't get ROP!
Sagan had it as well and it resolve within the first year.
I will be thinking of you constantly tonight (we are in Maryland)!
Sending prayers, good thoughts and love your way!
Susan
Thinking of you constantly as you go through this long day - but with the Lord at your side, not on your own.
He is faithful and is with you in everything - as He is with the doctors, the surgeons, the nurses: all those people who are using the skills HE has given them to help Isaac.
With love,
Ange G.
Thinking of you and praying for a quick and successful surgery and a speedy recovery for Isaac.
I will be praying for little Isaac, and you guys as parents. My son (28 weeker) now 11 months old had stage 2 ROP, and it corrected itself. I had a friend that I met in the ICN who had a 26 weeker who had Stage 3 ROP and it resolved itself. Also this 26 weeker (1 year old yesterday) had the heart surgery and she is just fine today! I check your site everyday to see how little Issac is doing. You all will be in my thoughts and prayers as I go to sleep tonight.
