We've worked out plans for Ava, Henry and Sasa. We're still working on Doublestuff (the cat...that should be no problem, though).
We've sat the kids down and explained the upcoming situation; making it as positive as we could. While the thought of a 7-hour surgery on Ella scares us immensely, we know we must rely on God and each other to walk through this time. We also know that we rely on others a well. Prayers, cards, visits, and encouragement have always been so abundant when times are hard. This time, however, will be especially difficult simply because of pain, immobility, and uncertainty.
While pride often hinders us in asking for help we know we must set it aside for now and simply ask.
Whatever way feels best to you we are asking for some help. Be it prayers, positive thoughts, a phone call or card, a visit at the hospital or our home, a play-date for Ella, play-dates for Ava and Henry, or whatever other way feels best to you...we simply know that this is where a community can be so important.
We don't really know how to thank you...for all you have done for us in so many ways. We thank the Lord above for the incredible care He has bestowed upon us through you.
