May 28, 2009 - Surgery Delayed

Hey all, David and Melissa here with a quick update. Caden Marshall's surgery has been postponed till tomorrow. We were informed there is an emergency that needs Dr. Tweddell. For Melissa and I it is like being stuck at the top of a roller coaster, waiting for the drop. The good thing is we get to love on him for one more day before his Glenn.

Hoping and praying.

David and Melissa.

  1. God's timing is always right. That gives Caden's body one more day to grow and gain strength. We will keep praying today for his Dr. and the emergency situation that drew her away from Caden. You're in our prayers.

  9. My prayers and thoughts are with you all day today and again tomorrow as Caden heads into surgery. I'm sure your emotions are all over the place. Waiting is sometimes hard but it gives you one more day of holding Caden close

  10. The Tyner, Bailey and Holland families are all praying for Caden and his surgery tomorrow.

    Philippians 4:6 says, "Don't worry about anything; but in everything, through prayer and petition with thanks, let your requests be known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses every thought, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus."

    We pray for you and your family to feel the peace of God tomorrow.

    Prayers and support coming from the Iowa Smith clan...know that you are loved and that God will give you the strength you need. You named your son Caden for a reason--he has proven that he is a little fighter and will I know he will continue to be one for this next hurdle.

    I am putting Caden's name on the prayer chain again at our church in Des Moines and I know he is on the prayer chain at my mom's church as well. Plenty of prayers for you all from "Corn Land!"

  14. Good morning Caden-
    Today is Friday May 29th and I am happy to hear that you had another day to build up your strength for this next step in your recovery. Obviously yesterday was not the right day to perform your surgery and it needed to be today. I know that everything is going to turn out fine and you will be “H” sooner then you know.
    Yesterday, I mentioned hockey and the prestigious Stanley Cup. Which is notably the oldest trophy competed for by professional athletes in North America, and was donated in 1892 by Sir Frederick Arthur Stanley, Lord Stanley of Preston and son of the Earl of Derby. He purchased the trophy for 10 guineas ($50.00 at that time) to be presented to "the championship hockey club of the dominion of Canada." the first team ever awarded the Stanley Cup was the Montréal Amateur Athletic Association in 1893.
    Since 1910, when the National Hockey Association took possession of the Stanley Cup, the trophy has been symbolic of professional hockey supremacy. Beginning in 1926, only the NHL teams have competed for this prized trophy.
    And since that time the Montreal Canadians currently hold the record for having won the most Stanley Cups. They have won the championship/Cup 23 times since the NHL was formed.
    Once again, stay strong and focused Caden

  16. On the morning I was supposed to go in for the c-section to deliver the kids, our doctor came in with a nurse to tell me that there was no room for 4 babies in the NICU and we would have to wait another day. The nurse was giving Tom the hairy eyeball to come over and comfort me. And I was doing a little celebration dance in my head because I could wait one more day to begin being a parent. Maybe not the most mature reaction, but there you go. I would bet that there is a part of both of you that was relieved to have another day before embarking on the next step in this long parade of healing and development. Good luck today. We are still praying for you and sweet little Caden.
