We made it . . . phase 2 of surgery is complete! Praise You, Lord! Here is our little sweetheart being wheeled away. That is the hardest part, the final hold of her little hand, the final hug and kiss! Notice that cute little left leg . . . it will be 4 months before we see it again. :(
The doctor said everything went great! Joy now has both hips back in their sockets! It is so amazing, and we are so thankful for our wonderful hip specialist of a surgeon. Also, the new tower at CHOC just opened up. It is a beautiful facility, and we are in such good hands!
Yet, ultimately we know and trust that we are in the hands of our sovereign Lord. We continue to stand in awe of His love and mercy. We give all praise and thanks to Him! We are also so thankful for all of His saints who are praying for us and Joy. The peace that we feel is a direct answer to all of those prayers. Thank you faithful prayer warriors from the bottom of our hearts!
Joy is our little trooper, and she is handling everything so well. When she woke up this time, it was already normal to be in the spica cast. She was definitely more accepting of her situation, and of course, the new cast is still pink! However, the new cast is bigger and a bit heavier, which just means a better workout for mom and dad!
Our little Joy Joy is so sweet, and she just radiates "joy" despite these intense physical trials. She brings a smile to everyone's face, and we pray that they will see Christ's love through our beautiful daughter!
