Karoline

Surgery.

That word just makes me cringe.

Karoline is having her tonsils and adnoids removed in the morning by Dr. Johnson. We go in for pre-op at 6:30am.

This is the first decision I have made for someone else. Knowing that she will be in pain because of the decision that I made for her, yet it will benefit her in the long run. It just yanks at my heart.

The Lord finally gave us peace yesterday about the decision to not have tubes put in. We have battled this choice for months waiting for a hand delivered message from Him. Yesterday it came through a strange vessel. Dr. Clark was chatting with me yesterday during my annual. :) He gave me great wisdom over the situation and confirmed our thoughts.

We are headed after dinner to Target. Karoline needs some "button down the front" jammies for the hospital. She has requested some princess, Dora or Elmo pj's.

Karoline chose her Dora popsicles and Jello pudding pops for when we return from the hospital on Thursday. She is super excited to get to eat them. I hope she remembers this when we get home!

When you think of this grin over the next couple of days pray for her...
