First Big Hurdle

Myles made it over the first hurdle, he is through surgery. They took him down to surgery about 8:00 am and we finally spoke with the surgeons just before noon. It was a really long wait, all we wanted was to hear he was done. The surgeon took us into a room to discuss the surgery and the more he spoke the more I smiled. The surgery went great. they were able to do the surgery with three small incisions and were able to close the hole without a patch, they just used stitches to close the hole.
Recovery has been good yet difficult. Myles is doing great, he is doing all the things he needs to. For us this has been a long and emotional day. Even in spite of how great it is doing it is hard to see you child (I'm sure at any age) recovering from surgery. He had a less invasive surgery and so many other positive things throughout but it was still surgery. We know god has a plan and we know God is sovereign but you come to a point where knowledge and theology don't take away the pain of the situation. That is where that same knowledge and theology coupled with experiential compassion make a huge difference. Just to know people are praying. It is great to be reminded of the truths of Scripture but it is such a blessing to not only hear "I'll pray for you" but to know that someone is  praying.
- Matt
