Surgery Update

Today was the day Addie went in early this morning and had her surgery. She did great in pre-op even though she hadn't been able to eat since 3:30 A.M. She did well with the surgery. Her feet did great and are now casted for 2-3 weeks after which we will move onto the braces. Her right hip even with the loose tendon did not go into place. At this point we will just leave it alone. They will do some x-rays on it around 12 months to see how it is growing and at some point between 12-15 months they will do invasive surgery to get it into socket. We are home now hoping to get some rest. She is on tylenol for pain as needed. While these are not all the results we hoped for we know that God is working. I may not understand why and how but I know that He is. As we were waiting for surgery this morning in the pre-op I was walking and singing to her. One of the songs I sang talked about how He heals hearts, at the moment I remembered how blessed we are. If God had not touched her heart at the beginning it could have been a much worse surgery with much scarier outcomes, but He did. He touched her heart in His time and in His way for His glory. I am continuing to trust that He is and will do that with her legs and hips. Our God is good and our God is faithful of that I am certain so I continue to praise as we go through each day on this adventure with our Addie. I am thankful for the touches He has already given and thankful that we are still being held in His arms! Psalms 18:1-2 "I love you, Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold." I love Him because of who He is and what He has done and will do. So while we wait for healing we hold onto to Him the anchor amidst the waves of this life knowing "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." Romans 8:28
