Surgery

Hi again computer land.
We just spoke with the hospital a few minutes ago. Clay's surgery is tomorrow (Tuesday). We are still fuzzy on the time of the surgery and should know later this morning.

We had a great weekend celebrating Grandma Ruth Sager's 90th Birthday and I have some hilarious pictures to share with you after the craziness of the surgery. Dad mentioned over the weekend that the death rate with kids with the type of rare cyst that Clay has is rather high (40 % !). I was reading abstracts and medical journals last night and sure enough almost 1 in 2 babies with them die because it can very quickly obstruct the airway. I am just amazed and so so so very grateful that the cyst was found last week. The thought of something happening to Clay is frightening.

Again, we are grateful to God for caring enough about all the little sheep with broken legs to go after little Clay. I don't know the formula for these things and I know that some of you do not believe that God really cares, saves, or is alive and well. Clearly the cysts aren't found on many children. I simply don't know his will, but I do take comfort in that God didn't make our world like this from the start.

The LORD is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love. The LORD is good to all; he has compassion on all he has made. Ps. 145:7&8

We'll post after the surgery but likely not before. Tonight we'll have a lot of organizing to do. We need to find a place for Sim to hang out and pack, etc.
Thank you for praying and thanking God,
Abby and the fam
