Wait and see. When I'm feeling scared and vulnerable I read this scripture<br />So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

I completely get where you are at with your emotions leading up to Bodie's surgery. Having been through three heart surgeries already with Logan, knowing that more are to come in the future, I know what you mean when you say you are used to being "fine" all the time and how that definition of fine drastically changes when the "S" word is hanging over your head. It's ok to be afraid and it's ok to admit it. He is your precious little boy. The one that makes you laugh, keeps you on your toes, tells you he loves you and smothers you with kisses and hugs each day. It's not easy knowing what he is going to endure and it for sure is unfair knowing that you have to be the one to put him through it. I'm here for you anytime my friend. {{{{HUG}}}} <3Stefeniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04278714232697499851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3411742878167645288.post-86223463590411613542013-04-08T18:17:04.323-07:002013-04-08T18:17:04.323-07:00Amy...you are a woman of SUCH AMAZING vulnerabilit...Amy...you are a woman of SUCH AMAZING vulnerability, strength and gratitude for all the things God has given you. I literally can't even imagine the depth of despair that comes right along with the positive mental thinking and praying. It's like the two go hand in hand. I have zero advice, absolutely zero, but something that has helped me through infertility and adoption (which is hard but this is a way different kind of hard...)is remembering God only asks us for mustard seed sized faith. apparently that is the smallest size seed on the planet. And it's a good thing, because there were and still are a lot of days I can hardly rally for that. I love you and will stand in the gap for you on the days where you are filled with worry. And i will keep praying. and you know you have a LOT , a LOT of people in your "amen corner" and will be there for all of you through this. i wish i lived there and could hug you or run next to you on the treadmill and cry with you at 530am.

One thing you can count on is a great circle of prayer warriors interceding for Bodie, and for you, Dusk, and Sierra. Thank God for those who are able to put our feelings into great songs, which give so much comfort.<br />Aunt Joannepaintbrushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06170047943582830764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3411742878167645288.post-54016009028056337392013-04-08T15:06:09.312-07:002013-04-08T15:06:09.312-07:00Of course I cried all the way through this as well...Of course I cried all the way through this as well. I cannot even imagine how you are feeling right now. I let my mind "go there" as well when thinking about the multiple surgeries Hunter has to endure in his lifetime. I cannot even imagine him being able to ask questions and voice his feelings/concerns. I pray for your strength to get through this. I had SVT as a kid and had an ablation at age 10. I NEVER remember feeling any nervousness from my mom, ever. I asked her when we were in the storm with Hunter how she stayed so strong and she told me she prayed hard that she would be strong in front of me.... and would break down away from me. You all are absolutely amazing, Amy. Here for you alwaysLindsay Grossnoreply@blogger.com
