Tuesday’s Gone- well, in China!
Hello! Today has been quite a boring day to be honest! Both of the kids are fighting allergies, so they were very grumpy to put it nicely!! You know you are raising a lot of cane around the place when the folks from 5 doors down stop you in the hall to tell you that it sounds like “your little dears” aren’t having a good day!! That is the understatement of the century!! We did get to visit with Dr. Ma earlier about our trip to the OR tomorrow. He is going to let a nurse from this floor start Brayden’s IV in our room. Then when we get down to the OR, they will start the anesthesia before they take him away from us. I am so thankful!! He told Jason that he thought we wanted him sedated for the IV, and that we didn’t want to be there for it. This is where the language barrier is so tough. Had we been able to communicate our feelings in a way that he could understand, we would have never had any of the issues from the start. I am confident that things will go well tomorrow. Please keep Brayden in your prayers. His injection is around 2:oo pm tomorrow.
Here is a little story, some of you may think I have lost my ever-lovin’ mind after you read it, but oh well. I don’t know if any of you have heard of or believe in “pennies from heaven,” but it is when you find a penny in an odd spot at a time when you are needing strength. In my case, I have been encountering dimes. Apparently, my guardian angel wants me to be rich!! Anyway, before this trip, I would find dimes in the strangest places- in a pack of gum, on a stud behind a wall we tore out in the bathroom.. just really odd places. My belief in dimes from heaven has been so strong on this trip. When we were gathering our belongings to board the plane in Chicago, we picked up Brylie’s blanket, and a dime was laying on the floor underneath it. Neither of us recalled it being there when we laid it down. Earlier this week, I took a pair of jeans out of my suitcase that I had not worn yet. In the pocket was a single dime. This morning I woke up, and as I got out of bed, a dime was on the sheets. I know you all think I am crazy, but Jason will testify to it! I mean to the dimes from Heaven part, not the fact that I am crazy!!! Well, okay, maybe both. I am sharing this with all of you because I believe that your prayers are making their way to the Man upstairs, and this is just a small way that our angel is letting us know that!
Please say an extra prayer for Brayden before you tuck in for the night. Spinal days are very difficult. Our love to all!!
