G-Tube Scheduled
We met with the surgeon, Dr. Lopoo, today to discuss Lydia's G-tube surgery. It is scheduled for next Wednesday morning, July 16th. We will stay overnight so that she can be monitored for any chance of infection or complication. That makes her mom feel a lot better. I'm having a little anxiety about the whole situation...it's so real now. I know it is the best choice (the only choice), so I just have to give all worries to God. I spent some time online last night researching about mitochondrial disorder....which is good and bad. The more I learn, the more educated I feel about taking care of our precious gift....but, at the same time, the more scared I get about possible scenarios that we might face and the UNKNOWN, which is vast in the world of mitochondrial disorders. Thanks Tiffanie and Martin for helping to bring me back to Truth tonight....the Truth is that our all-knowing God is powerful and has a plan. He will help me to be sure that I am prepared in all the ways that He wants me to be to take care of His perfect Lydia that He has shared with us. He is here to take all of my worries away....there are no worries where there is God.

Mandy,

Praying for you guys! Lydia is a lucky girl to have parents like she does who are persistent in getting the best care for her!
Hey Mandy!
Keep on believing the Truth. When it gets hard to believe, that's where faith comes in. I've been encouraged by your faith by just reading your blog. We are praying for y'all...in fact our whole ladies' prayer group prayed for Lydia this morning. We are praying that she will defy all (bad) things the doctors say and will be a testimony of the power of God. Actually, your family is already a testimony to the importance of having faith in a God that loves us, knows us, and wants what is best for us.
I'm a Believer!
Laura
