We Got a Room!

Just wanted to write a quick post, and PRAISE, that we got a room at the Ronald McDonald House!

As many of you know we were worried last time about not getting in...as they were really full!  Well, we did end up getting one the day of Stephen's pre-op...and then had to cancel because the surgery was delayed.  We were pretty certain we would get one this time (they said they had a bunch of stars by our name!) but just got the official call yesterday!!!!  Praise God!  This is a HUGE financial and emotional relief!  It only costs $20/night and is located on the top of the hospital parking lot so the parent not staying with Stephen is walking distance away.

My heart breaks a little at having to be a resident there again.  Those who are close to me know how dear this place is to my heart and know how much I would prefer to be there to support other families...not be the one in need of the support.  Nevertheless, I am SO grateful that it is always there when you need it.  It will be hard to be in the line for food, and not serving.  To look out at the playground and not be setting up a fun carnival for the kids.  But this time we spend there will make our next event we plan just that more special!

Pre-op is tomorrow morning at 9:30...so far he is still healthy...let's pray it stays that way!

Other prayer requests (on top of the ones from the last post)

I have a bit of a dry throat that is causing me to cough.  Pray that it is nothing major and goes away.  A cold would keep me away from Stephen...and I don't want that!
Pray for Lizzie & Audrey...they are struggling with having to leave tomorrow.  They will be so loved by my family, but they don't want to be away from us.  Pray that they would have extra peace...an lot's of fun!

And thank you all!  It is so VERY comforting knowing we have an army of people praying for our family!
