Thursday’s Things to Pray For

9.16.10

  1. Praise for a great report for Lydia this morning with the adoption specialists at CHOP! Lydia is growing and developing wonderfully–we thought this was so, but it was fun to have them confirm it. 
  2. Pray for the details to be worked out so that we can schedule Lydia’s procedure to get tubes in her ears. And, pray that the tubes would restore her hearing.
  3. Pray for me personally — I’ve found the schedule this week particularly grueling (Lydia has appointments 4 out of the 5 mornings this week). I feel like I’m constantly behind. Pray that I could prioritize and give myself grace and be granted grace as things have to wait or get missed. 

Click here to learn more about Thursday’s Things to Pray For. Pray for me, for these things I list. And, leave me a comment to let me know you did if you don’t mind. It would be a great encouragement. And, I invite you to do the same on your blog.

Wish I Could Just Make Everything Better

9.15.10

for this sweet little girl.

She needs tubes in her ears. They are filled with fluid which is significantly impacting her hearing. I know that this is the most common surgery for kids. It’s over in 5 minutes. Recovery is half a day. It’s no big deal. I know that.

Except that she’s my baby.

The nurse practitioner said they’d give her a sedative first so that she’s calm and relaxed and doesn’t have a problem separating from me for the surgery. I’m wondering if they can give me a dose of that stuff too.

I can’t stop imagining them taking her from my arms and putting her under general anesthesia. I keep imagining her just laying there asleep.

Somebody stop me!

She’s going to do just fine. I’m going to do just fine. She’s His child, and He’s had His arms wrapped around her from the first moment she was born, protecting her and caring for her when she had no mother’s arms to do so. I know that He is with her, and He is with me.

We have to get clearance from the cardiologist before we can schedule the surgery. I’m hoping it’s sooner than later so we can just do this and get her hearing where she should be.

Hello

I overthink everything. This blog is a prime example. Make yourself a cup of coffee and sit down for a read. Actually, make that a pot of coffee. There’s a lot of overthinking here.
