Philippians 4:6-7

Although I absolutely love Northern California, I was so happy that Abigail's test looked good and that we were able to come back home for now. Of course Adam and I have a hard time of letting go of the anxiety about her upcoming surgery, but I have place this paragraph next to a place that we pass every day. It's a reminder for us to not feel anxious.

Life is full of many concerns stemming from the absence of certainty and control over our future. While we can never be completely free from worry, the Bible shows us how to minimize worry and anxiety in our lives. Philippians 4:6-7 says do not worry about anything, but with prayer and supplication with thanksgiving make your requests known to God and then the peace of God will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

Abigails Catheterzation is scheduled for December 15th and they will tentatively be putting us on the schedule for surgery on December 17th. There could be a slight possibility that the surgeon sends us home for the holidays and performs surgery the first week of January however, we made it very clear as much as the holidays are important to us Abigails surgery is most important. Many families have to celebrate holidays in the hospital, and if we are there than that is where we are meant to be. Only God holds the timing of her next surgery, so we just hand it over to him.

We left Luke back at home because we knew the 6 1/2 hour drive there plus the hospital would of been a little too much for him right now. Which worked out perfect because as usual he had the best time with Grandma Laura and Grandma Marsha. Thank you mom's for everything!! We love you!

Also, thank you to our constant support system. We love you all as well!

Hoping everyone has a safe and Happy Thanksgiving.

All our love,
Chez Family

  1. So glad you have some time at home before surgery. Like you, we're blessed with grandma's near by too to help with our boys when we're in the hospital as well. What a blessing that is.

    Sorry for the scare you had with Abigail. How terrifying...I'm so thankful all is ok with her after that episode.

    You're in our hearts and prayers as this "looming" surgery awaits. I know how that feels...

    Heart hugs,
    Katie (Maddie's mom)
