Hi Everyone,
In the last week, all but three of us have gotten sick. Lily, one of her big brothers, and I are healthy. Everyone else is pretty sick. We are in our big countdown to Lily’s surgery, her jaw distraction, on March 9th. If Lily is sick at all in the coming weeks to the surgery, they’ll cancel and reschedule at a later date....she has to be healthy for six weeks straight.
God’s timing is perfect....but I have to admit, it is an emotional roller-coaster as we prepare to go through a very big, invasive surgery. My rally cry is “Stay in the moment, that is where the Grace is!”......but my mama’s heart has moments of panic....I just want this trach out so, so bad...and that can’t happen until we get her jaw lengthened.
My prayer is that Lily stays healthy, (and my other guys get healthy, their asthma is acting up) and we can get jaw surgery as scheduled. I pray for the Grace, as well, if God has other plans.
Thanks ladies, you all are always in my intentions.
Update-2/8/10--I thought we were almost out of the woods.....but Lily woke up with a runny nose, ( a new thing for her, until her palate was closed a few months ago, it didn’t come out her nose, but in her mouth , so the positive side is......I know her palate repair is working!!!)
She was up several times, gagging and coughing....needing a lot of suctioning...so....I’ll call her surgeon later to see what is next, like, rescheduling her a few more weeks into March. In the end, it isn’t a big deal.....(if I keep telling myself that, I”ll believe it eventually, right?  )
My 11 yo ds’s asthma is still misbehaving.....wheezing quite a bit and requiring lots of meds and treatments.....will be calling his doc as well.
Thanks for your prayers, dear Friends....they sustain us.

Oh no!!!! Is it too late to quarantine? Probably so. This would have me rattled, too, but I'm trusting that God knows exactly what He's doing with the timing of all of this, as well as the impact this would have on Lily's surgery. I remember waiting in anguish with you over the last surgery, postponed again and again, for the surgery to be completed on a day when the staff was just right for Lily! Hang in there! I'll re-focus my prayers for little Lily. May God's will be done, and may He generously supply you with the grace to meet His will with joy, cheer, and peace!
I'm praying for all of you, and putting in a big plug for NO SICKNESS for Lily so her surgery plan can move forward!
