8/26/08

Just wanted to update everyone with the time of our surgery. It is Wednesday at 8:15am. We think the surgery will last about 3-4hrs. She will be in the hospital at least 3days and in the PICU for 1-2 of those days. She currently has a really bad stuffy nose. They will not do the surgery if her snot turns green or if she starts to cough. So please pray that the cold does not get any worse and she starts to feel better by tomorrow morning. Shannon's mom, Kathy, is here to help us until next week and then my mom, Paula, will be out to help.
For some of you that haven't heard our exciting news, Shannon recently got a promotion with Pella Corp and we will be moving to Minnesota. He starts his new job on September 15th. We went looking for houses last week, but did not have any luck, so we would appreciate your prayers as we continue to find something. The girls and I will then move somewhere around the 15th (if the doctor lets Trinity leave) to Iowa for a couple weeks until we can find a place to live. We are really excited for this move since it will put us closer to home. We have a lot of homework to do in finding good doctors again, but God will direct us in all the right ways!!
We will keep you updated after Trinity's surgery. Thank you for your prayers before, during, and after the surgery.

Thanks for the update. We will definitely be praying for her cold and for her surgery. Too bad you didn't find a house last week, but I am sure you will find one! We'll be praying for that too.

Love you!

Girl you have a lot on your plate! But I know that you are strong and will handle it all with grace... :)

We will keep you in our prayers for sure...with the surgery and Trinity's cold, that you will find a house that will feel like "home", and that the transition goes smoothly all around. Love you!!!!

Even though I don't know you...I continue to check to see how Trinity is doing. I will continue to pray for complete healing.

Just wanted to let you guys know that we are praying for you and little Trinity tonight and tomorrow as she goes in for surgery. Praying that God will clear up her cold so that she can have the surgery as scheduled and praying specifically for peace and comfort for the two of you. I'm sure you're nervous, scared, anxious, etc but God has it all worked out and I just pray that He would wrap His arms around you so that you can feel His comfort and know that He is taking care of Trinity and holding her in His hands before, during and after her surgery. We love you guys!!
