Waiting......

Well, we're here at the Children's Hospital hanging out in the waiting room. Our little Jesse is in surgery as I type. This morning went beautifully, and we know that the Lord totally undertook for us. Jesse didn't even go into surgery until 11:00, but he was happy as a lark without both food AND a nap! The nurses kept exclaiming over how adorable and happy he was, and we even opted out of the "sleepy juice" because he was so content and loopy on his own! This was totally a God thing, because every single day of his life, if it's even a moment past 7:30 in the morning and he hasn't had breakfast, Jesse lets us know. Loudly! We couldn't believe how content and happy he was. God is good.

We both got a little teary when the nurse walked down the hall with him into the operating room, but because he was so happy and trusting it made it a lot easier on us! Sitting here in the waiting room with other parents whose children are having major surgeries also puts things in significant perspective. Mind you - I don't ever want to go through this again, but we are at peace......and we're aware that having Jesse as our child we will probably be here multiple times throughout the course of his life whether we like it or not!

The nurse came to tell us that he is safely asleep; the only little glitch was that they couldn't find any veins in his "chunky arms," so they're having to go through his leg for the I.V.! Other than that, all is well. Thank you for your prayers. I'll update as we find out more details.
