friday and waiting

It’s Friday morning. Rainey (my 13 month old) and I are hanging out in the kitchen. She just ate a wonderful breakfast of bananas, yogurt, and cheerios. Only about 20% hit the floor this time. We’re improving.

And we’re waiting.

Meg took Gardner to the doctor this morning. The screw from Sunday night’s screw-swallowing hasn’t materialized yet, and the doctor asked to see him before the weekend so we could decide what to do. We’d hoped it would pass through his system, and I hold hope that it still may. Today will reveal the next course of action. Other possibilities are to go through the mouth to get it out or surgery, if it’s lodged deeper.

Last night, we called Jake and Jason (my bro) to come lay hands on Gardner and pray over him. I believe in God’s sovereignty, I trust him, and I believe in righteous people asking for healing in Jesus’ name. Maybe that’s why Meg and I are so calm now. I would appreciate your continued prayers that Gardner would be past this incident quickly and with little discomfort. Thanks.

14a Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him…
