Hey Everyone
This is a brief update to ask for prayers. Sophie has had fevers on and off for the last week. She has been monitored by her pediatrician and he checked her for everything even her kidneys for an infection. Her tissue expanders still looked fine at that point until last night she had the first inkling of a red rashlike spots all over back. She saw the surgeon today and he wants us to monitor it closely over the weekend and he thinks it may be getting infected and she would need emergency surgery to remove it and of course they are not scheduled to come out until fall so this is more than a little upsetting. I also have to work all weekend at the hospital and I won't be around much so I will be full of anxiety worrying about her. I lay awake last night until 2 am not sleeping. The verse in Matthew about not worrying about tomorrow for tomorrow will worry about itself seems to just fall on deaf ears. I had been meaning to give you a nice calm update instead of this frantic one but at this time I need you to pray. I tend to have to work very late on Tue/Thur due to the nature of my schedule/paperwork and I was on my way home very hungry/tired/and eager to see my family at 8 pm tonight and I was very emotional about the surgery prospect and the song Healing Hand of God by Jeremy Camp came on and I was reminded that even when our mountains seem so huge, our God is a mighty God who can heal and I pray for healing for Sophie this weekend and wisdom for all her care providers. Thank you.
