Patrick Jr. loves, loves his trucks. Big trucks, little trucks, red trucks, blue trucks. Trucks. They all are his treasures. And who can blame him? They are big. They are "take charge." And they make a lot of noise.
You know who else makes a lot of noise? Sweet Charlotte. I've not mentioned that over the course of a couple of weeks, her vocal chords have begun to heal. And fast! She has found her voice and certainly loves to use it - just like her Mommy! :) Like Patrick, she isn't to blame especially considering she hasn't had any 'creative liberty' before now.
Unfortunately for Mommy's sake, she wasn't a happy camper last night. Whether needing to be held, a low threshold for dirty diapers or a VERY bad case of diaper rash, little bit didn't "do" last night. Period. Fortunately, "we" paid CLOSE attention to her downtown issues and hopefully they are being addressed as needed. Hopefully, she will be comforted tonight and those to come. Hopefully she won't have anything more to contend with before her Gtube surgery/Nissen surgery on Friday. We pray.
If her surgery date changes from Friday, I will be the first to let you know, as your prayers are our lifeline. They are my comfort. My go-to. My everything. And, with everything that I have in me...thank you for making Charlotte your love. She is certainly ours.
Hang in there sweet Charlotte! Your countdown to home is on!! And I'm sure little p will be very excited to show off his trucks to you - well, at least for now:)
ReplyDeleteSarah,
ReplyDeleteFor those of us not familiar with the Gtube/Nissen surgery, can you explain it to us?
Our fervent prayers are ongoing.
In Christ,
David & Candy
Thank you SO much for your constant prayers and support - we are truly grateful. To learn more about the Gtube and Nissen surgery, go to our "CARPE DIEM" post. It explains the surgeries in detail. Again, THANK YOU for supporting Charlotte.
DeleteAhh sweet Char Char we hope you can stay as comfy and healthy as possible before gtube surgery. We pray, pray, pray that Friday is the big day and the official countdown to going home! Xoxo
ReplyDeleteWE WILL BE LOOKING FORWARD TO "GOOD FRIDAY" IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE
ReplyDeleteTO PRAISE THE HOLY ONE AND TO PRAY FOR SWEET CHARLOTTE, THAT THINGS
WILL GO SMOOTHLY AND THEN SHE WILL BE CLOSER TO GOING HOME.
DURING THIS JOURNEY OF LENT WE OFFER OURSELVES TO GOD
WITH THIS PRAYER
"CREATE IN ME A CLEAN HEART, O GOD, AND PUT A
NEW AND RIGHT SPIRIT WITHIN ME." PSALM 51:10
Continuing to praise God for showing Himself as the miraculous God that He is in the work that He is doing in Sweet little Charlotte (and you!). I also continue to petition our good and gracious Father for Charlotte's complete physical healing. I know that He has heard our prayers, and like a Good Father, He has the very best for her and for all of your family.
ReplyDeleteThank You Lord, for all that You are doing that we do not even know. One day we will see this from your perspective and fully comprehend how loving and merciful You are in all of this...and until that day we say that we trust You and we praise You even though we only see in part. Thank You that because we are Yours we do not have to fear, for we know that you are with us, You uphold us with your righteous right hand. We thank You for holding and healing precious Charlotte. She is a gift from you, precious and invaluable in your sight, and we thank you for her and entrust her to you!
Love all the updates! Miss ya'll but look forward to playdates one day with happy and healthy kiddos! :)
