Postponed Surgery!

Yesterday was another day with no seizures! And so far today we have seen nothing Patience is something that we both struggle with and finding things to keep ourselves entertained is even more difficult. We have to keep remembering that God is in control and His timing is what is important. For whatever reason, it looks like the second surgery will be put off a few more days.

The doctor did share with us that the test they did last week showed them some valuable information. The scar tissue is a good distance from her motor skills area and they seemed very pleased. They also shared with us that they are recording seizures that we are not seeing, however they need to get video of some of the bigger ones. The doctors also want to get some more mapping tests done this week...therefore, postponing the surgery that was scheduled for Wednesday. It was somewhat difficult not to be discouraged, realizing that "my" schedule had been changed. Hmmm . . . . some of life's lessons. And keeping in mind that this whole time and sequence of events is going to be a big change in Krisina's life! So....we will be patiently sitting here in the hospital as long as it takes.

Kristina is definitely recovering from the first surgery very well. She is able to stay up all day, play games, and read a little. Jess and Daniel got into town yesterday afternoon and left today. We had a great time with them here. We also had Cheryl and Hannah come up for the day. It was a great time of family and friends. The visits this weekend have definitely made the time go by much quicker!

Sunday morning we had a patient transport employee come in to take our neighbor to xray. She stopped to chat with Kristina and I. She told us about a 90 year old lady that God had put her with three times in the past couple of days. She felt it was definitely divine intervention. She had an opportunity to share her faith with this older lady and her daughter, however the lady has now informed her on the last visit together that she would not be able to convert her to her faith. She was not interested in God. It saddened our hearts to hear such denial of God. When the PT employee came by to bring our neighbor back I gave her a track and told her that if God placed her in this lady's path again to leave this with her and her daughter. We also decided we would all commit to pray for this lady . . . .that God would prepare her heart for His Son.

I am finally able to place some of Kristina's pictures on here for all to see. See if you can tell the difference in the first one and the later one. The first one has the swollen eye and face (not when it was at it's worst . . . but still visible). Some of the others were today. There is a picture with "Flat Stanley". He is trying to go all over the world, with Virginia being his first stop! Cheryl will be putting him on a plane tonight for Iraq. It was great to meet "Flat Stanley."
