Josie Update

Josies surgery went well. She is in the PICU and the next hours are critical to how she will respond to the surgery. PLease continue to pray for them. Beth sent me a picture of Josie and I will spare you the tears. BUT there will be pics to come soon when the tubes are removed.

surgeries

Josie's surgery has been postponed again until next Wed.

I had my surgery this morning, everything went fine. The doctor feels he was able to retrieve some things we will need to begin looking into why this is happening. More on that later.
Surgery today was a little different from last time. I physically feel ok, not as good as last time. Emotionally I'm not so good. This morning when I checked in- I cried. I laid in my pre-op room and cried, got meds to calm down, cried again, someone would come in and comfort me so I'd calm down, they left- I cried... you get the picture. On rare occasions throughout the day I've just cried. Pretty much all I seem to do is cry.

Thanks for ya'll your prayers and kind words during this time. Unfortunately the baby had not grown and we will again have another D and C. Please just keep our family in your prayers.

patience

Patience is something I lack, but this week it has been HORRIBLE!!

• 1st- Josie's surgery has been postponed until Thursday morning. I will keep you updated!
• 2nd- We go to the doctor tomorrow for our ultrasound. Waiting 2 weeks to know if everything is ok with this pregnancy is INSANE. Patience is just now something I have this week!

Josie's surgery

So I haven't had the chance to update and let you know my best friend, Beth's, little girl Josie, which you can remember from my post here and a few post before that one, has a scheduled surgery date.

She will have open heart surgery next Wed. the 13th at 8:00am. If you have a chance to read Beth's blog you will see all the details. Please start praying now for Josie, Beth, Ashley, and the doctors.

If this gives you an idea of how much Aiden loves her. He cried last night because he couldn't go to Beth's at 8pm and see Josie. I told him he could look at her on my phone so he held it and walked around talking to Josie.

one good thing about the country
