Pre-Surgery Appointment

I scheduled an appointment for Annabel for today to have a last checkup before her surgery.  It was an act of faith because if the healing we had been praying for had occurred, there wouldn't have been a way to know until surgery started. My hope was that we would find a miracle today during the ultrasound, but unfortunately that was not God's plan. I have prayed so hard for her to be healed and I know many of you have prayed along side of us.  Thank you!

But, God is still in control.  As Jesus said (obviously on a much grander scale than what the urologist stated was a fairly common surgery), "not my will, but Yours be done."

I just have to hang onto this: "...for the joy of the LORD is your strength.” Nehemiah 8:10 ESV

God's plan is bigger and better than we know. Keep praying for her little body and the wisdom of the doctors and assistants that will be caring for her on Thursday.  Dr. Perez did say today that it looked likely that she could loose half of her kidney because of the size of her ureter and the damage to that half of the kidney.  But he said it really could go either way.  Lets pray he can fix it all at her bladder and not have to make the second incision to get to her kidney and possibly remove half of it.

With love. Corinne
