We arrived at KU this morning at 6 am - yep before the sun was up and let me tell you this Mom has not seen that time on the clock in a long time without being able to go back to sleep. Our waiting began at that time because Jonathan was taken back for surgery around 8 this morning. The two doctors were hoping to be able to operate on his neck and stomach at the same, but there ended up being too many bodies trying to occupy the same space.
The Ear Nose Throat surgeon performed his operation first and met with me after his operation was completed. Everything went well, however, the ENT was not able to remove all of the mass in his neck. The tumor was sticky and instead of injuring important nerves he didn't scrape too much to remove the entire mass. The big down side to it was finding out from pathology that the tumor was still cancerous. Our journey has not come to an end, and I cannot wait to see how He is going to be glorified. God is our rock, our fortress and our deliverer we know that He will never leave us or forsake us. His comfort is ever present and His peace is abundant. I know as I sit here waiting the prognosis on his surgery that we have an abundant amount of prayer coverage. Thank you for being the one to stand in the gap for us.
The kids are currently being taken care of by one of the church families. I know they are having a blast with the Bucher's and are in great hands. It is so encouraging to know that they are enjoying their time and I also can't wait to get them in my arms. I love it when they throw their arms around my neck and tell me they love me. Those are the moments that make motherhood oh so worth it.
