Update on Neely baby

Elizabeth is currently being discharged from Covenant and will be heading to Iowa City. Zechariah will be having his surgery within the hour (by 1:00). It is a 4-5 hour surgery if everything goes according to the surgeons' plans. They have performed the procedure before, but they have found more concerns- the surgery will be more extensive than thought this morning. John and his mom are with Zechariah, and Elizabeth and her mom will not make it to Iowa City in time to see Zechariah before his procedure. That has been very hard for Elizabeth. Elizabeth is asking that we please pray for peace and trust in this time of storm. She is taking comfort in the fact that God is sovereign over all, but struggles with His plan being different than her own. She also asks that we pray that Elizabeth and her mom make it to Iowa City safely and don't get lost.
