She’s out

I just talked to the surgeon, Angie is in recovery and should be out in an hour or so. He said she did fine, and he got everything he needed. From here the tumor goes to pathology where they will biopsy and probably have a report by wednesday. We’ll be here overnight tonight and most likely go home tomorrow. [update] Actually i just talked to the recovery room nurse and got her room number- it’s in the pedriatric wing, apparently they have a playstation. Guess I’ll be fine tonight….

That is again for your prayers, I’ll post again later after I’ve had a chance to talk to her.

so far…

She’s doing well so far, there have been some moments this morning but she’s ok. It’s all very real now that people are sticking needles into her! It was awesome to walk into a waiting room full of friends and family when we arrived this morning. A couple of doctors we know have stopped by, and the nurse who did her prep this morning is a friend from church who came in just to take care of us. (thanks Amy!)

Today

This morning we head in for surgery… Angie is doing pretty well, but it’s a scary thing to be facing. She’s been resting well tonight, I’m very thankful for that! The kids are as well prepared as they can be, when Asher got into bed tonight he told me that he couldn’t wait for tomorrow- “it’s going to be the best day of my entire life!” He’s looking forward to an entire day with a babysitter, and going fishing. Go figure.

Southern Girl… Redneck Truck

A little over a month ago, we finally got the ball rolling on selling our Acura and our Wrangler to downsize to one vehicle (other than our van). The main specification was that it had to fit the five of us yet still be able to be driven off-road. We had talked about a Grand Cherokee or a Land Cruiser, but little did I know just what exactly we were getting ourselves into, or rather what I was getting myself into…

Upheld By Grace

I recently found this poem I wrote a few years ago. How good God is to bring it back to me as a reminder and encouragement to me of the faithfulness of God for me, my family and my friends. It’s not about me, my works and my strength. He is walking with me!

As I journeyed life’s path He was there
Walking with me all along.
And I hopped and skipped, basking in joy;
He was my strength and my song.

I knew His smile, and I sensed His love.
His warming peace filled my heart.
We walked together, my hand in His;
I knew we would never part.
