Today was a big day with the pre-op processing. (And I thought all of the tests were over...) It began with an excellent orientation by one of the head nurses, including a tour of the hospital floor where my room will be and the recovery area, which is like an ICU for patients having thoracic and cardiac surgeries. After surviving a couple of blood extractions, chest x-ray and EKG we were on our way again. We continue to have admiration for the quality of care and personal touch that we have experienced.
We're set now to go into CMC Main at 7:00 a.m. on Wednesday. Surgery will probably not start until 3-4 hours later and typically takes up to 3 hours.
I continue to be sustained by God's grace in a way I never would have imagined. On the other hand, it's hard for me to imagine how those who face similar uncertainties and trials can endure without the assurance that we, who know Jesus, have in Him.
You already know how He has used Jeremiah 29:11 to play a role in this. Well, I have another one for you... Yesterday, a family member came to the door with a small gift for us. It was a beautifully framed version of that verse...with one small addition. After it is says, "For I know the plans I have for you," they had inserted our names, "Hu and Sherril". Now that makes it personal. Try putting your name there also, and let it speak to your heart!
