Praise the Lord

Praise the Lord for taking care of Ethan during his surgery on Tuesday. He had to have a urology procedure done. They said the surgery could take 45 minutes to 2+ hours depending on what they found once they got started. Thank the Lord it ended up being less complicated than they thought it might be so it was only about an hour and a half from the time they took him until they let us be with him in recovery. After about an hour in recovery we got to take him home and we are so grateful. He had a rough evening that day but by yesterday was doing pretty well. Thanks to all who prayed for him and us. Mommy struggled with some fear before the surgery but God is good and helped me through that too. The surgery center doctors and nurses were wonderful and took good care of Ethan and us. Another answered prayer that day. He had to go several hours without eating prior to surgery and as you can tell by looking at our boy he LIKES to eat. He was getting fussy while we were waiting for them to take him back and he was tired and wanted to nurse but Mommy was praying and thankfully he fell asleep and took a nap until they came to get him.

Leaving home to go to surgery. Poor boy had no idea what was about to happen.



Playing with Daddy before they took him back.


After surgery and on our way home :)

Poor fella! So glad he is ok! And I loved Brianna's perspective on the snake bite :) She and Gracie would be great pals.

Thank the Lord that all went well with Ethan's surgery --- didn't realize he was having it done until the day before. He is just adorable --- growing up too fast! We love all the pics of his beautiful big sisters spoiling him rotten! Give them kisses from us --- love and prayers, Aunt Dawnie & Uncle Tom
