updates, praise, and prayers.....

"A rock and a hard place" - that's where Sydney's doctors have found themselves. The progression of spinal curvature along with the massive tumor involvement has really left them no other choice than surgery at this point. Ultimately however it was up to us to decide and after much prayer we were in agreement with their plan of treatment. We truly felt at peace about that decision yesterday. We know that she is in God's hands and He has blessed us with wonderful and skilled surgeons to care for her. But all of that being said, this is not a surgery to be taken lightly. This is not a surgery to cure Sydney. This is not a surgery to remove tumors. This is a surgery that will hopefully halt further progression of curvature (for now) and  hopefully she will regain more use of her right side after recovery. The massive tumor involvement along with her pectus make this a risky surgery. Please continue to pray for Sydney, for us, and her doctors. She will be scheduled in the next few weeks. We continue to thank and praise God for all that HE has already done and will do. Our plans can NEVER compare to His. To Him be the glory......

With love and prayers.......

Thankful for Christ!
