Quick Update/Prayer Request
Posted by Maggie Mon, 19 May 2008 15:07:00 GMT
I’ve been trying to work on a longer post that’s been going through my head, but it’s not turning out in type the way I had imagined, so it’s just going to have to wait for now. But I do want to let you all know some things and ask for prayer for our dear Princess Olive. She’s having surgery tomorrow. It’s a tonsillectomy and is out-patient. Please pray for the surgery and pray that it’ll have a big impact on her. The doctor said it should help her sleep better (she snores and has sleep apnea), and it may improve her speech! It also may help with night time potty training because it should take care of the sleep apnea, which can cause bed wetting. I’m not putting my trust in the doctor or this procedure, but in the Lord. He’s the one that ultimately will determine the outcome. I’m still planning to take her to speech therapy and continue washing sheets, but if the Lord should choose to let the surgery help in these areas then I’ll be thrilled and He can have the glory! And if He chooses not to, then He can have the glory for the plans He has for her and the rest of us.
Also, while I’m not counting on it quite yet, we’ve had a breakthrough the past couple of days. She’s only has had one little accident (besides a long nap and night time) and she’s been telling us when she needs to go. Not once has it been because we told her to go! I’m so happy, but again, we’ll see if it sticks. She even told me during church and was dry and went when I took her. I’m praying that the surgery won’t set her back too much.
