Hayden update # 5

Well, I know I posted some concerns and God has already shown Himself to us. We knew He would, He always does.

I mentioned briefly a disagreement between us and a couple Dr's out at CHOP. We sought godly counsel and prayed a lot for wisdom. We talked about it again with the Dr's at our last appointment and everything got worked out and we were able to walk away at peace. Not 100% happy, but our son will get all the care he will need and that is what we fought for. We must fight for what we feel is right for him, so that is what we did.

Yes, CHOP is the best hospital for Children, but remember they are not perfect. We do praise God we are here at this time and our son can and will get the best care possible, but there are always bumps along the road no matter where you are.

Also they have nailed down a date for the scheduled C-section.

OCTOBER 5th, 2010!!!
I would appreciate prayers for that as well. I have never had one and am terrified. Everyone tells me I'll be fine, but I am still scared.

Hayden's condition remains the same. We have a lot to do in one month, but God is providing and we are getting things done. My church is having a baby shower for me after church on Sept. 12th. I am very thankful and excited.

Also, I mentioned we had to home school this year due to the fact that I can not work, which was fine. We have done it before and we can do it again. I actually missed Hallie last year. We were concerned how I would juggle a fragile baby just out of heart surgery and 3 girls and school all day. So we excepted what path God put us on and we would do what ever we needed to do to educate our children.

Our Pastor came to us 2 weeks ago and said if we could pay for books and fees the girls tuition was covered!! What? Are you kidding me?!! I couldn't believe it. We weren't even praying for that and God knew what we would need because of our unique and sensitive situation.

Hallie and Heidi started school last Wednesday and love it!! We are so thankful for God's provision and grace.

Thank you all for your prayers. Our next appointment is Sept.15th and 22nd.
