Sophie and I (Deb) will be traveling to Cincinnati, Ohio on October 2. She has doctor appointments on the 3rd-5th and will be admitted on the 7th with surgery scheduled for Monday, October 8. They anticipate a 7-10 day in patient stay if all goes well.
Shawn will be at home with the other kids except for a few days when he comes to Cincy while Grandma is here.
Praises:
*We were able to change insurance last year so that we can take Sophie to the hospital with the doctors with the most experience for this surgery!
*We have college friends who are letting us stay with them for the days prior to being admitted. We don't have to pay for hotel expenses, and best of all we get to catch up with "old" friends! (Thanks, Peg and Greg)
*Not only does Sophie seem to understand what's going to happen, but she has also been accepting of it!
Prayer requests:
*For the surgeons and surgery to go well
*That the diagnostics don't show any other abnormalities that we aren't aware of already
*Health for the whole family!
*Perseverance and patience for the patient and the parents!
*Sophie can't eat for at least 7 days after...she loves to eat....enough said!
*Travel mercies
He doesn't know I'm saying this, but if you would feel like blessing my husband with a meal, please call our home!

Sherri of a Hengfeng girl!
Praying Psalm 91 for Sophie (and you) today!
ReplyDeleteHe who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say to the LORD, “My refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”
Because you have made the LORD your dwelling place—
the Most High, who is my refuge—
no evil shall be allowed to befall you,
no plague come near your tent.
For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways.
On their hands they will bear you up,
lest you strike your foot against a stone.
“Because he holds fast to me in love, I will deliver him;
I will protect him, because he knows my name.
When he calls to me, I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble;
I will rescue him and honor him.
With long life I will satisfy him
and show him my salvation.”
Deb,
