Urgent prayer needed!

A few years ago now Sophie had a wound that needed your prayer.  The blood flow was compromised.  You came, you prayed, God healed.  So grateful.  She needs you again.  I have been AMAZED at how smoothly things went this time.  Pain control was amazing.  Craig and I have been ministered to through our own emotional roller coaster.  This surgery was especially difficult on my strong brave husband, I don't know why, but God has been there and holding us in his hand.  I have been diligently giving him all the glory due him and proclaiming to everyone who asked how amazing she is doing. It wasn't a breeze mind you, it was still a major surgery but now I think we are seriously in need of prayers.

These things:

Her lungs still aren't clear.  She seems better one day worse the next.  She struggles on and off with wheezing and we are using her inhaler regularly (and Robitussen!) Please pray for healing, strength, virus-free lungs.

Her stomach incision.  Be warned, gross picture....

The white section could just be fresh new skin growing up from below but it could be the start of infection.  We need to pray against this and wisdom to know the difference.

Emotions for Sophie and us.  She is very defensive and I usually am very careful to give her her space. I try not to mess with her unless I need to.  When she sees Craig and I peering at her (even without touching her) she starts screaming "Don't touch me!!!" Very heartbreaking to see your child not trusting you or fearful almost expecting that you are planning to hurt her.  Not ideal for a parent/child relationship. 

I know how mighty and powerful our God is.  I have seen it in our life again and again and again.  I see it in others lives.  Please pray for us people of God.  Our whole household feels like we have been holding our breath for weeks (or maybe months) and we are all hoping to exhale and relax and just "be" for awhile.  Every corner we turn I feel like we find another roadblock.  Exhausting.  I look forward to showing you the "fruits" of your prayers with some beautiful after pictures soon...
