Two of John's sisters are traveling from their homes in Washington to Mexico for a little get-a-way. They had a long layover in Phoenix, so we got to visit with them today. It had been a very long time since we'd seen them. It was good to introduce children and catch up a bit. Jason was uncharacteristically grumpy and refused to eat though we knew he was hungry. Finally John managed to get him fed (while walking around - go figure) and then he settled down and went to sleep. The picture isn't wonderful, but at least I remembered the camera - and to use it!
Jason's surgery is 2 1/2 days away. I am half anxious to get it over with and half dreading it. It's weird how one's feelings can conflict sometimes. He is just a happy little guy. When he is smiling and twinkling and laughing and giving kisses I feel so guilty knowing that we're getting ready to turn him over to the ominous scalpel. Yes, yes, you don't have to tell me, it's the right thing to do. It's best. If it weren't it wouldn't be happenin'! I guess it's like I've advised so many others: down the road it will be just another story...

I'll be praying for Jason's surgery!
That is so neat! I'll also be praying for Jason's surgery and a quick recovery!
We have been there as you know. Even though Jason is only - almost - five monhs old, he still understands a bunch! He can read you better than you can read yourself. If you can keep a bright and positive attitude and body language, he will read that and it will be amazing how well he will do even in strange surroundings. The hardest part for you will be when you have to part and they take him into the operating room. It felt to me like I was leading a lamb to be slaughtered. However, as we have experienced over and over, God has it all worked out and we can praise Him now for His mercies which are "new every morning." Of course all this pratter is easier to say than to do. You are all in our prayers.
How wonderful to get to see John's sisters. Hope they have a wonderful "getaway."
I asked for prayer for Jason's surgery at church yesterday too! So when is it? Today or tomorrow?
Jason looks fantastic. It is just amazing to see him. Thank you so much for taking the time to post pictures you are a wonderful mom.
