This is the week.
Ninety days have flown by faster than it seems possible.
Annie’s next MRI is this Thursday, the 13th, at 9 am.
It will be a grueling day for her: no breakfast. Checking in and getting yet another hospital bracelet attached to her little wrist. Waiting endlessly in a boring waiting room. An IV. Total anesthesia. A 45-minute scan of her brain while she sleeps, oblivious. Waking up in an anesthesized stupor, hungry, disoriented, and irritable.
She knows something is going on. She knows we’re worried and scared and knows it has something to do with her. She knows the reason we go to the hospital is because something is wrong.
I know that she knows this because I see it in her eyes. She’ll walk into the room and catch us talking about her, and I know that she knows.
I can’t make this go away for her and I can’t stand that.
In a heartbeat, I would take a brain tumor myself to keep her from having to go through this.
I can’t do that. I can’t make it go away.
But God can.
And I believe that He WILL.
I would so appreciate your prayers for Annie this week.
I will continue to pray, please text me Thursday when you know something. Keep your faith strong! I thought of y'all this morning at church while we sang…" There's never been a mountain that the Lord could not move it, there's never been a single thing that God could not do it……just when you think you've finally reached the end, there's gonna be a victory like there
I am absolutely praying for Annie and your family this week. You all will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Yours is the only blog I keep up with any regularity. You and your Annie are frequently in my prayers. Our God is a great big God. I read a phrase today that reverberated within my soul…"what God doeth is well done." I hope and pray for peace and encouragement for you and healing for precious Annie.<br />AndysJess
We are praying for healing Annie and your family.<br /><br />But now, thus says the LORD, who created you, O Jacob,And He who formed you, O Israel:<br /> “ Fear not, for I have redeemed you;<br /> I have called you by your name;<br /> You are Mine. <br /> When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;<br /> And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you.<br />
