Surgery #11

What is a year without a surgery? We wouldn't know! Once again we are headed to Cincinnati trying to give Addie her best chance at function with her arm. The doctor has determined we have another chance at a nerve transfer into her deltoid from her tricep. So tomorrow morning after much prayer and wrestling if this was the right decision we are putting our sweet Addie under again. We asking for prayers that the doctor is able make the best decision on which nerve to take from the tricep and where to connect it on the deltoid. We will have a loss of function at first and won't see the full results or possibly any improvements for 12-18 months as we wait for the nerves to grow. We are trusting in the Great Physician to do what only He can do and to get glory through this trial. We covet your prayers for a successful surgery and especially no nausea after as she has struggled with that the past few surgeries. If there is no nausea we will be able to head to our family and recover for a few days before we head to St. Louis for more casting/ possible surgery and hip follow-up. Before her first arm surgery God gave me this two verses Hebrews 10:23 "Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess for he who promised is faithful." And  Hebrews 10:36 " You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God you will reciere what He has promised." While we have had multiple surgeries since then these verses are still true. Our hope is eternity and His will is to walk through this with praise so that we can glorify His name to all we come in contact with.
