Zander’s surgery day
October 3, 2008 – 1:29 amHello All,
God is GOOD!!!!!!! I can’t explain to you my excitement and joy as I write this update. Yesterday was a very trying day, but in the end we saw Jesus in all and are truly grateful. I am encouraged, my faith has grown and as I share with you I pray the Lord touches your heart and you also are encouraged!
So I was on my way down to Zander’s pre-op appointment and I get a call that they are canceling his surgery since we don’t have the $110,000. They say we will need to wait until we get approval from a charity or the money. She tells me to go ahead and go back home because it is a waste to come to the pre-op at this point. I tell her that I am going to still come and pray that they change their mind. I hang up the phone and I will be honest I was so disappointed. At that point my faith went right out the window; I was discouraged and sad thinking I don’t know how much longer I can live without my husband and other kids. I started to pray as sadness came over me. Then all of a sudden it dawned on me, there is nothing I can do to change anything. Only God can move on these people to let the surgery go through, only God can move mountains! And mountains He moved!!!
I arrived at the hospital and am in the lab for his blood draw and I get a call from the finance counselor. She tells me that not only is his surgery back on, but the hospital is doing it as a charity. We have a small fee to pay, but they are making it retroactive so they are also covering the $8,000 we already owed! I of course am crying with joy and astonishment, how great is my God!
So this morning I sit in peace, knowing that God has our little Zander is His arms loving on him in that surgery room. I will keep you posted and let you know once the surgery is done. Thank you all for your prayers! What an amazing story of the glory of God, He is so faithful even when we are not!
Love,
Melissa
Beautiful! Our God is glorious!
