Thank You Jesus! My Girl Is Doing GREAT!!!

Thank you so much for your prayers for my daughter. She's up and about a tiny bit today. No infection at all.......YIPPPPEEEEEE! It hurts, but that's to be expected. I am CRAZY about her Dr. He's such a wonderful man. I went to Dodi's pre-op appointment with her and couldn't believe this man's patience. We asked a lot of questions and he treated us as though we were his ONLY patients that day. You know how sometimes the Dr. will practically talk to you with his hand on the doorknob waiting to escape?? Not so with this great fellow. I was in the room with Dodi waiting for her turn at the O.R......when this wonderful GODLY man popped in to pray with us before the surgery. How wonderful was that? :-) But wait! There's more.....he called this morning to ask how she was doing and talked with Dodi for about 10 minutes, again answering all her questions. After the surgery he gave me his personal cell phone number so I could call with ANY concerns. This man was an answer to prayer and a wonderful doctor. God is soooooo gooooood. I had never even heard of him.......why, I wonder??? At any rate, thank you so very much for all of your prayers. I am humbled and grateful. I received so many wonderful messages from you awesome gals. It touched my heart.
Blessing YOU!

Oh, and by the way, it's no wonder she was in so much pain. She had two large tears in her meniscus and her cartilage is "toast".......poor thing....

Please Pray For My Daughter........


My darling daughter will be having surgery tomorrow morning, Friday the 24th.

This is a simple arthroscopic surgery on her knee, but she had this same surgery done when she was about 15 and we nearly lost her when she got staph infection in her joint.

She's had trouble with her knee since that surgery. The Dr. should have lost his license. He wouldn't listen to me when I called to tell him how sick she was and refused to see her in his office for three days. On that visit he recognized how sick she was and sent her for immediate emergency surgery. She was in the hospital for nearly two weeks and on home I.V. for a month after that. It was terrifying.

I'm trying not to be afraid, I know the Lord will take care of her, but I just can't shake this feeling. If you would pray for her AND her Mom I'd appreciate it so much.

Her name is Dodi and she'll always be my little girl.

Hugs to all!

PS.......I'll be away from Blogland for a few days. I'll be staying with my sweet girl to care for her and my little grandson.


PSSSSSS......I am getting ready to leave to do some things before my stay with Dodi....I looked at my messages and am weeping........THANK YOU.......precious gals for praying for my girl. God is so good. I'm so blessed to have you placed into my path. What a Glorious God we serve. I am grateful.

Many, many hugs,
Spencer
