Hi everyone
May 27th, 2009
Well I am sitting here waiting for Carlie’s treatment. Carlie is very relaxed (which is really weird) she is listening to my IPOD and playing tic tac toe. Matthew is resting beside her because we knowit is going to be a LONG night! I have been on edge all day. It was first set off because I know what today brings. Not eating or drinking for Carlie which is turning out to be a big deal because her appetite has picked up so much! Drinking is always a problem. Then I really wanted to see the boys but the SKYPE was messed up a the house. Technology can be really be nice when it works. But when it doesn’t it makes you want to throw the laptop out of the 8th floor of the hospital in Qingdao 
Matthew has to keep reminding me it is the user. But to look of the bright side I do get to talk to them and hear what is going on. So I really should not be complaining at all. Anyway.. I have been keeping to myself praying all day and the Lord has given me peace about everything that we are doing. This morning I was uneasy because of what happened during the first spinal but we think we are all better prepared for this time. Dr.Tony will be giving it to her and he is wonderful! I’ve just keep thinking how do people go through this without the Lord in their life. It has been my source of peace and strength through the whole process. God is good in the good times and in the bad. He is here with us in China and I can feel it every day and every decision we make. He is here! Nothing takes God by surprise, he knows what will happen and I take so much comfort in the fact that he is in control and not me! I will BLOG again after the spinal is over!
