Samuel is the first afternoon surgery tomorrow. So his surgery time isn't until 12:30. Which is nice, in that we don't have to be there until 10:30 tomorrow morning. However, the poor guy will have to go that much longer without food. Trade-offs, I guess - like everything in medicine.
So ... that's the plan, at this point. They weren't willing to shave all of Samuel's hair for us. We'd been waiting to give him a haircut 1) b/c he hates it and 2) in hopes that they would just shave all of it since they'd have to shave some of it. Alas, we'll have to cut it tonight since he won't be allowed to get his head wet for a week and will have a pretty heavy bandage on part of his head for 3 days. Fun times.
Thank you for your prayers for us. To know that we are not alone, but are being supported by others, is a great comfort to us. The end of Isaiah 40 was good for me to read this morning and I pass it along to you now in hopes that God would use his word in your life today, even as he has used it in mine.
Why do you say, O Jacob, and speak, O Israel, "My way is hidden from the LORD, and my right is disregarded by my God"? Have you not known? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength. Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.
Isaiah 40.27-31
