AMAZED!!!!

Can I just say that my heart is overflowing with joy? For those of you who haven't already heard....Conner is done with surgery for awhile. At his last surgery on July 8th, Dr. Hochman came in during pre-op and said that everything was looking so good that we could cancel the appointments for August, September, and just come in for an office visit in October! Praise God that is such an answer to our prayers. Conner is looking so good and the hemangioma has shrunk and is no longer a threat to his eye or his airway! Thank you Lord for all of your answered prayers!!!! Speaking of answered prayers I would like to repost a part of the very first post on this blog. It was our prayer list and I just wanted to show you how many of these have already been answered!


***There are several ways you can help us pray. Please pray specifically that:
A. Conner will be convicted and come to trust in Jesus at a young age. (Still praying for this one!)
B. God will use Conner's journey to bring others to HIM! (Family members that weren't even in church before this journey began have come to know our Saviour and His saving power!)
C. Conner will always wake up after his surgery. General anesthesia is a scary thing for mommy and daddy to understand! (Praise God after every surgery we anxiously waited for them to tell us Conner was awake and there was never even a scare...he always woke up with no side effects from the anesthesia!)
D. The doctors will guide us in making the right desicions for Conner regarding his medical care. (God led us to exactly the right place at the right time to help us make the correct desicions!)
E. Conner's ulcerations will heal and there will be no infection. The rate at which an infection would spread through his little body is alarming at best. (There was not any spread of infection! Conner is completely healthy! Glory to HIS name!!!!)
F. No matter the outcome, that our family and Conner will continue to know that God has and will continue to keep us SAFE THUS FAR!
(Our God IS able to do exceeding and abundantly above anything I could ever ask or imagine! Thank you Father for all of your guidance through this incredible journey!) **

This is Conner about three hours after his surgery...Isn't he just adorable? We will be headed to Charleston on Wednesday with my bestie...Jackie! YAY! So thrilled to have the opportunity to spend time with her and let her hang with Conner! We spoke with Dr. Hochman's office this week and were able to schedule his surgeries from now until September. Conner's face is looking wonderful. It is just amazing to see how God is working in his life. I am convinced that God has a huge plan for Conner's life and is going to use him in a mighty way. As we celebrated Independence Day I was reminded that God has been our strength throughout this whole journey. He has protected us and blessed us. Just as He protects and blesses this great nation!
