Season of Surgeries

Well, what a season God has us in right now!!  Last fall we dealt with illness after illness as my boys brought home stomach flu, strep throat, croup and the good ol' flu from preschool.  This was on top of me going through first trimester ills. Then my husband went to Africa on a missions trip and broke his arm!  Isabel's surgery date in late November was delayed because of concerns about her heart.  

Now Jim has been having complications from his broken arm and will have surgery tomorrow.  In addition, Isabel's surgery is scheduled for February 20th.  He is the one who will be taking her to Children's Hospital and staying the night with her since a germ-y hospital is not the best place for me at almost 7 months pregnant and I can't really sleep in the glorified window seat they provide for you to sleep on! ; )  This was our plan all along, but he will only be 2 wks post-op himself so we are praying for quick healing for him.

I know that through all this God will be right there giving me the grace and strength to do all the tasks I do in a day plus care for my husband and daughter post-operatively.  If you could please remember my husband in your prayers for a successful surgery tomorrow morning, I'd appreciate it.

I'll keep you posted.  Thank you!
