Tired but Thankful

I concur with my lovely wife's assessment. Life is full but God granted us a small reprieve this afternoon. In addition to the determination that they were probably going to have to do some drilling on David's head to drain the fluid on his brain, Crystal was told today that we were going to have to change hospitals since they couldn't do the surgery on David in this NICU. They needed a proper operating room for a child in David's condition. Crystal even signed the papers for the transfer. Aside from having to move David, this would mean saying goodbye to the staff we have come to know and trust and move to a NICU with more of a common area instead of the quiet, private(ish) room we enjoy now with David. This was about as close to a breaking point as I have come. As I was driving from Yuma to Phoenix this afternoon I was having a long talk at God about this (yes, you read that right). About the second hour of driving, and once I had stopped talking, God reminded me once again that He is in control and that I can rest in Him. I was able to accept the move and be confident knowing that this too would work for His glory. Twenty minutes later I got a call from Crystal. The neurosurgeon had come to meet with her and told her that he would be willing to bring his surgical team from the other hospital and turn our room into an operating room for the day. Wow! Talk about a quick answer to prayer. God is good, is he not?

David's surgery is set for Monday pending the results of another head ultrasound. We will be praying for another miracle. This time that his body starts absorbing this fluid and they are able to cancel the surgery.
