Surgery

So for those of you looking for an update, Jennie went into surgery at 8:10 cst. It took the anesthesiologist about 20 minutes and three Sticks to get her IV in, and she was very swollen from all the pain medicine she has been taking recently.

The doctor also talked briefly about the increased difficulty of keeping her under due to her allergies to so many medicines. The surgery is expected to take about 12 hours, but we are hoping for an update early this afternoon.

Needless to say no one in the family got much sleep last night. Jennie, Rita, Bonnie and Jim, and I all went to see a midnight showing of Wall-e, which was incredible. It also served as a good distraction to keep Jennie's mind off today. I think all told Jennie, Rita, and Myself got about 30 minutes of sleep last night.

It is really nerveracking as I sit here writing this and not having any idea where we will stand tonight. We are all of course hoping and praying for God to work a miracle and for Jennie to do incredibly well, but there is also the possiblity things might not go that smoothly.

This entire time I have managed to be so confident that this surgery would be the Miracle we have been praying for, but now as I sit here and wait anxiously the unknown is killing me.

I still have Great Faith that God will provide, but what that exactly means is so unclear.

I will try to post again whenever we get an update, and thank you to everyone for your Prayers and Thoughts. Jennie and I have both felt incredible relief these past few weeks as the Surgery approached. I just ask that you continue to Pray that God's Healing Hand work on Jennie today.
