Fei's Surgery

AS I sit and wondering about the timing of the events of the previous week, I stand assured that He does have a plan, jsut as assured as I do NOT understand why.

The HIGH of HIGHS watching this little man of ours take his first steps, has been also overshadowed by FeiFei's impending surgery.

This past week, month, summer have been a lot.

I am starting to feel drained, and I can't even get to the cleaning out nesting phase to get ready for little Griffen.  I have put on weight, I can barely finish a phone call (which I can barely answer), the house is a wreck ugh.

Ok enough about my pity party.


So - FeiFei's surgery.
It scares me. . . I know we jsut went through amputation surgery which I was fine with,
but this scares me.

Her surgery consists of removing the extra bone at the base of the skull that is currently compressing her spinal cord.  This bone is removed on either side.  Then from what I understand the first 2 days are critical in preventing swelling.


This is where her brainstem is, so the room for error is minuscule.

Her surgery is this Weds at 3pm MST.

Please will you pray for our sweet little angel.

    He has had her in the palm of His hand from the very beginning. He will be there to direct the surgeons hands.

  3. Praying for you and for your sweet girl. Let me know if we can do anything, we aren't out there again until next weekend but if there is anything we can do while we are there we are staying in the springs on Saturday and will be around until after lunch on Sunday there.
    So thankful for the good hands that she will be in at Children's.
    As for the house, my mom often reminds me that someday I will miss having finger prints on the storm door, stepping on legos in the middle of the night and forts in the middle of my livingroom... this is a season and when it is all said and done... no one is going to remember what your house looked like in the midst of it all.

  6. I would be honored to pray for your sweet little girl. Love her dimpled smile. Will pray for you as well. It is so hard to have even a moment to take care of yourself through such intense parenting (especially during the time you are getting adjusted (plus all your kids' medical issues)
