Urgent Prayer Request for Endurance Holston

Our family has been administrating a facebook page for a dear family whose 8-month-old son, Endurance, has been in the hospital (several hospitals, in fact) since birth with severe heart issues. For some background, visit their blog, "Run With Endurance." (This post gives some good background on his birth and heart difficulties.)

Endurance is currently in his long-awaited 8-hour surgery on his heart. Just finding a surgeon who would perform the surgery for him was a huge answer to prayer, and involved a cross-country hospital move for Endurance and his family.

The latest update from Mike & Heather (Endurance's parents) is as follows, and includes an urgent prayer request:

We now ask for prayer for this.....Dr. Galantowicz will take Endurance off of his heart/lung bypass machine when he's completely finished. This will tell the doctor if Endurance's heart will tolerate being on its own. If his heart doesn't accept being off of the machine (Seattle told us he'd never survive off of this), Dr. Galantowicz will put him back on for one hour. If he can't come off, Endurance will basically pass away there. He's in God's hands. May it please Him to have Endurance survive on his own.

Please be praying for Endurance as he comes out of surgery in the next little while. Follow his facebook page for regular updates, and visit his blog for more details!

Endurance's family has consistently glorified and trusted in the Lord through all of the ups and downs since Endurance's birth. Please pray for strength for them at this time!
