Can I get a WOOT WOOT! up in here!!!
We are packed.
We are not coughing.
We are ready.
We have been talking about surgery all week.
From inside our shiny new bubble wrap, of course...
It is sorta freaky how much David understands about what is going to happen.
He will tell us how we will get up early when it is still dark, then Mama will take him to the hospital and Baba will take care of Josh and Sammy. And then he will put on the hospital pajamas. And then he will put the mask on his face. And then he demonstrates breathing deeply and falling asleep. And then he says when he wakes up, doc will be done fixing his mouth and it is over! And then he says Mama will stay with him all the time, and we will sleep for one night at the hospital (oh man I hope it is only one~insert a prayer here), and when doctor says we can go home then we go home! He knows he has to drink before we go home, and he tells me all the choices he will have at the hospital. He says he can have apple juice, or popsicles, or applesauce, or Jell-O. And he says he wants to ride around the hallways at the hospital in the wagon just like Sammy did. He tells me he won't be able to walk (Sammy couldn't stand up right away because his IV was in his foot). And he says he will be able to talk better and drink from a straw and blow a horn after his surgery.
Freaky, eh?
We'll see if he sleeps at all tonight.
Please pray for the doctors to sleep well tonight.
Please pray for God to guide our surgeon's hands tomorrow.
Please pray for David's little body to handle the surgery well and for his palate to be closed during this one surgery.
And pray that his palate stays together after surgery, and that little David heals quickly.
Do we need anything else?
Just prayers. Thanks.

People were also bringing babies to Jesus for him to place his hands on them. When the disciples saw this, they rebuked them. But Jesus called the children to him and said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” Luke 18:15-17
Amazing that he gets it so well! Will be praying.
ReplyDeletePraying. I am totally blown away by his ability to communicate and understand!
ReplyDeleteOf course my nephew is brilliant! I know he's tough too, but it's so much for such a little person to handle. He's very lucky to have you!
