Janet is feeling pretty sick. It has to do with her pregnancy. We'll trust God's timing on that one.
Pat is adjusting to living in a hotel room/hospital room for thirty days. We love the facility, we are super-duper thankful and are being well taken care of, but there is nothing like home. We knew this would be a challenge so we will trust that the Lord will get us through. This is one of those situations that having been on a lot of missions trips helps.
Caleb did great today - totally cooperative with all the nurses/techs, etc. Like, he didn't even cry or scream or anything when they poked him with a needle to draw blood! That's my boy! He said it didn't even hurt. I was shocked, surprised, and so proud of him. He's my hero!
Genesis is being a trooper. Both kids are doing great, all things considered. They have crafts at the RMH (Ronald McDonald House). Last night they made a bird house, tonight they made door hangers.
So, please pray for
1) strength and wisdom. There's always decisions to be made and weakness to feel.
2) successful surgery and speedy recovery. This is huge. The trip could be a lot shorter if Caleb recovers speedily.
3) health for everyone. Hopefully, Janet being sick won't spread to Genesis and Pat.
4) a little sanity would be nice once in awhile, too!!!
We should get a call sometime tomorrow afternoon telling us what time the surgery will be. The pre/surgery/post will be about 3 1/2 hours. The longest part is cutting through all the scar tissue.
Tomorrow we hope to go to Sesame Place for a day of fun with Big Bird. Hopefully, and prayerfully, none of us will behave like Oscar!!
We are also hoping to see our friends Nilson and Betty Hernandez who flew up today to spend a couple weeks here with us.
Pat

May the Lord give you strength, wisdom and guidance throughout this procedure. We thank the Lord for His loving kindness and His faithfulness through everything. We pray for Caleb's surgery tomorrow that it will be a successful one and that he will recover miraculously fast. We also pray for my sister Janet, that she will feel better. Mia says she loves you all and will be praying for you. Our hearts, thoughts and prayers are with you all. We'll be checking every day for any updates. We love you very much, Sara, Mia and the rest of the gang. :)
I will be praying for Caleb and the entire family. Terrie Goldstein
