PRAISE GOD FROM WHOM ALL BLESSINGS FLOW, ESPECIALLY FOR...
My neighbor who generously cared for our oldest and youngest while the middle one (ds age 5) had a minor surgical procedure today.
The reduced traffic to Children's Health Care of Atlanta. Reduced traffic=reduced stress.
The fabulous staff at CHOA including nurses, doctors, registration people, and any others who helped make our stay a pleasant one under the circumstances.
A moved up surgery time. And just after the first complaint of hunger from our little trooper of a son.
A wonderful, understanding husband who knew from experience that I didn't need to be the one going back with our son when they put him under general anethesia. (Last year, ds age 8 had a minor procedure at this same place and even though the staff and doctors are wonderful, it's just scary for a little one to go through this and quite heart wrenching to see them go through it as a parent.)
A tear-free recovery from surgery for our little boy.
(From our son's perspective) All his stuffed animal friends that came with him and comforted him and made him laugh after the surgery and at home, Boston Market macaroni and cheese, Nintendo and Gatorade drink boxes.
A realization of the undeserved blessings we have right here in our home, right under our noses.
Also, thanks go out to all who prayed, including some of you who read this blog. I'm thinking of Ruthanne in particular.
WHILE I'M AT IT...
Here's another blessing I'm hoping to receive in the future if I'm diligent in saving. Isn't it beautiful? It's made of Honduran rosewood and the middle two joints are really one joint. Actually I may not buy that one because of that feature. If you know anything about orchestral clarinet players, we have to carry two different clarinets in one case - one in the key of A and one in the key of B-flat. So if I was to purchase this instrument I wouldn't be able to put it in my double case because it's made for a clarinet with two separate middle joints. That would mean that I'd have to purchase not only a replacement for the B-flat clarinet but also the A clarinet. So...I may just purchase this clarinet instead.

Praise God that your son is doing well. I'll pray for his full and perfect recovery. It is SO hard watching those little ones go under anesthesia...we've not had to endure that yet, but several applications of stitches while we held the little one down was difficult, too! Bless your family during recovery time!
I've wondered several times today how your little guy's surgery went yesterday. Then I sit down to cruise a few blogs and I find a great report. Thank you, Lord! It's been a pleasure to pray for y'all, Meredith. Like Karen, I'll continue to pray for a full and perfect recovery. :)
Thanks Karen and Ruthanne. Our little guy has been such a trooper. He has complained rarely of pain and has only had to be on regular Tylenol. The hardest thing about recovery is he's the jumpy rough playing son and he'll have to ease back into that AND he'll have to miss his gymnastics class, which he loves, for 2 weeks. Please pray he'll understand that.
Thanks again for your prayers.
