Home!!!!!!

What a blessed day yesterday was! God is good! We were able to come home yesterday evening! Sydney did great (as usual)! Everything surgery wise went just as Dr. C hoped it would:) She is very sore as expected but otherwise just great! Thank you for all of your prayers. She will have a follow up appt. in about 6 weeks. Details about the next surgery coming then I suppose. For now another step has been taken. We rejoice in God's great mercy upon Sydney.

God is good, the Gospel is true, and Jesus is at work in me and all around me.

In Christ,
Sandy

Getting ready...

for tomorrow. I can't say that I'm looking forward to tomorrow but I can say that I am peaceful about tomorrow. When I look back on all that God has done for Sydney, I can't help but smile.....truly amazing:) I remember some of the early conversations with doctors regarding her diagnosis, I remember seeing her films for the 1st time, I remember when she could no longer walk, I remember my Savior, my God, my Lord. I remember His promises, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” Hebrews 13:5, I remember," And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose." Romans 8:28.

Please join me in prayer for Sydney as she has another surgery. I pray that it will serve to add yet another blessing on her life, may it be for her good and God's glory. We'll keep updates going on Twitter. Surgery is scheduled for 7:30 (arrival/prep time 5:30). Prayerfully we'll be home over the weekend and at Ashland Avenue on Sunday.

In Christ,
Sandy 

A BIG thank you.....

At the aquarium!

to JC & Irene. This week they treated Sydney to lots of fun just for her. Something you don't get much of when you're one of six;) Sydney is truly blessed to have such wonderful people and so are the rest of us:) Thanks again!

In Christ,
Sandy

update...

1st of all....Sydney is doing great! Loving life without the halo:) She loves our new church and all of her new friends!

She is scheduled for her 1st lengthening June 29th. This will require an overnight hospital stay (maybe 2) but is typically done on an outpatient basis. But since this is the 1st, they schedule it inpatient to see how she responds. Please remember her in your prayers and give thanks for what God has done for her. This time last year she was starting to lose function in her right leg. He's brought her a long way!

In Christ,
Sandy
