Trust in the Lord!

Last week we finally received a date for Kayden's surgery and with that has come a roller-coaster of emotions.  I am so relieved that we actually have date and that Kayden will soon be able to put this behind him.  Having a date however, has made everything much more real and it is beginning to sink in a lot more.  I also have to admit that I am turning into a little bit of a crazy lady when it comes to germs in my attempts to keep Kayden and the rest of our family healthy!  Even if Kayden should get the sniffles there is a possibility of his surgery being cancelled.  The disinfecting wipes, disinfecting spray and hand sanitizer have been in full effect in our house for awhile and will not let up until his recovery is over I'm sure.  Every time I hear a sneeze or a little sniffle, my ears perk up and panic begins to set in.  The Mama bear in me needs to realize that I am not in control!!!  I know that we are doing everything possible to keep him healthy and that I need to leave the rest in the Lords hands.  We have felt God's presence so strongly through this journey so far and I know that he is looking after our little man.  Whenever I feel worry coming on I start to pray and it has been a huge comfort knowing that we have the Lord to rely on.  

In our attempts to keep Kayden healthy he is also no longer going to school or activities and that has been a bit of an adjustment for him.  He really likes school and took it pretty hard when we first told him that he would have to stay home.  Today however, he really enjoyed doing his homework and me being his "teacher".  Kayden seems to taking everything really well and that has truly been an answered prayer.  He is usually such a worrier, but seems quite at peace with everything and we are so thankful for that.  He has been slightly more sensitivity that usual but all things considered he has done exceptionally well.  We will continue to pray that as the day draws nearer that Kayden continues to be a peace with everything.
