As I sit here trying to type I'm finding it very difficult for some reason. I feel things are off from the usual and it's bothering me. As I took a little time to journal and pray this morning I found myself saddened at the feeling of being removed (on my part) from my normal enjoyment that comes from spending time with my Father. I don't know what's wrong but I pray it's made right quickly. I have a feeling it might be a continuation of our no good very bad day yesterday.
Samuel Had his MRA yesterday and although the MRA itself went really well we had a very very cranky, hungry, sleepy little guy on our hands. For some reason we feel he had more trouble with this non invasive procedure than with the cath a few weeks ago. Once he woke up from the sedation the poor guy did go back to sleep for more than 10min around 8pm, he had only had a 30min nap earlier that morning due to a neurology appt. So, we finally got him home and in bed around 10pm...it was a really long day for both of us! We don't yet know the results of the MRA but if they don't call me by Thursday I am sure when we meet the heart surgeon on Friday he will be able to tell us the results.
Here is a little growth update on Mr. Samuel:
Weight-12lbs 8oz
Height- 25 1/4in
we haven't made huge strides in this area but we are praying that all changes after surgery.
Here are some things I would love for you to pray for:
For us to enjoy Samuel as much as possible before his surgery
That surgery would be uneventful,uncomplicated, and successful!
That Samuel would recovery quickly and with no complications
That the Lord would use this surgery for His glory and that we would look for ways to Glorify Him.
That I would be patient with both Scott and Samuel as I feel stressed with appointments, packing, and finishing up my summer at the pool.
That I would spend time daily in prayer, study, and fellowship with my Father.
For my dad (Harold) as he has his last heavy chemo treatment today. That it would be effective in completely eliminating the cancer that is left and that the next few weeks would not leave him feeling ill, tired, and gross all the time.
For my mom as she takes care of my dad. That she would find refreshment and rest in Christ on days where she feels weary.
I can't thank you all enough for all the ways you love and encourage us from near and far!
Love to all!
The Paige Family
