Today is the big day!

We got to the hospital at 5:00 AM this morning for Drew's surgery. He went to pre-op from about 5:15 - 7:30 and then went back to surgery. The surgery started at 8:00 this morning. It has been a very emotional morning for all of us. I think today is possibly going to be the worst day of my life with having to wait during a 10 hour surgery to see if my husband is ok. I am also hoping that it will be the best day as well because hopefully I will see the surgeon's smiling face at the end of the day giving us the good news that the surgery was successful. Being terrified of hearing something different doesn't even portray what I am feeling right now. We just got to get through today and there will be better days to come.

  1. Dear Kerri, We feel the same way-can't think of anything else. Be brave and know that you are loved. Drew's a tough guy and he will be fighting with all his might. He said this will be good and it will!
    Keep the faith.
    We love you,

  7. The Healing That We Need




    Why, O Lord, does it always seem
    That we often get no reply?
    When we are so very desperate
    For all the answers why

    When we need a special touch
    To heal all of our sickness
    A miracle that only you can do
    Restoring strength to our weakness

    We do not know the reasons why
    You don't answer straight away
    We only need to have faith in you
    And be persistent when we pray

    You may choose to heal much more
    Than our needs of the physical
    So much more is the spirit inside
    That may be in need of a miracle

    For you care so much for us
    And want to see us healed
    Not only in this body of ours
    But in our souls as well

    For healing is for every part
    Our body, spirit and soul
    And God just wants to touch each part
    And make us truly whole

    We needn’t feel so downcast
    As we wait upon the Lord
    For the answer will come in His time
    Then we shall be restored
