Those final moments before you rush off to the hospital to have a baby are not that much different than what we are experiencing right now. The MAJOR difference is that I am the one doing all the running while Jonathan rests. So my question is - when do I get to rest... oh that's right I'm the Mommy and resting is not part of my job description. te hee...
Today Jonathan has had the distinct pleasure of drinking all of his food. If it was not clear liquid then he was only allowed to salivate after it, but not consume it. What a BUMMER! Let's just say that by this evening he was pretty tired of anything that remotely resembled jello. If it looks like jello, jiggles like jello, or smells like jello it probably is jello... what a let down. I don't think he will want any jello for the next year. Needless to say, he was pretty tired by this evening since he was not allowed to eat anything of substance. That is why I am the one running around like a chicken with my head cut off - the only blessing for everyone is that I can't talk very loud since I have a cold. YUCK. Benjamin asked me this morning what happened to my voice. I told him my that my throat was sick and then he did the sweetest thing. He stopped what he was doing and immediately asked God to help Mommy's throat get better. Amen. It is so precious when he does that. He is going to be proficient with arrow prayers at a early age I just pray it will develop into a deeper abiding relationship as he grows. So far, everyone that I have talked to on the phone today thought I was Jonathan. Just give me a couple more days and a whole lot of sleep and I will be back to me.
Tomorrow we start our day bright and squirily at 6a.m. Jonathan is scheduled in the operating room from 6 am until 5:45 p.m. I am sure it won't take that long to perform the operations but am thankful the doctors will be able to spend as much time as they need to make sure it is done well. Please be praying that God would guide and direct the doctors hands and that the tissue that is left is only scar tissue. We serve a mighty God and we are confident that He only has our best interest at heart. His peace has surrounded us these last couple of months and will continue to see us through the next couple of hours and weeks. Thank you for your continued prayer support.
