Four more days to go until sweet little Abigail's surgery. Man, is it scary.
A friend of ours, Lisa Shay, wrote the following in a email to Mary today that helps put all things in perspective, God's perspective: "I know you're scared. But this moment in time for her surgery was already known by the Father, He who knitted her together in your womb. Continue to put your hope and trust in Him and He will see you through. His grace is sufficient - for THIS day....do not borrow trouble from tomorrow. " Thanks, Lisa, for your encouragement.
I will be doing my best to post updates on Abigail, at least daily, if you would like to check in to see how she is doing. For those who do not know the details, I'll briefly describe the operation.
She is having a reconstructive surgery on her skull due to prematurely fused skull bones, called mytopic craniosynostosis. Basically, they will be removing and re-shaping the front two forehead bones as well as separating the eye sockets. There are a lot more details but I will not be going into them here. It is a rather major surgery that will take approximately four hours, needing the assistance of neurosurgeons, craniofacial surgeons, anestheseoligists and others. Recovery time in the hospital is about a week.
Thank you for battling in prayer with us....

"Lord, Your Word says, 'In everything give thanks, because this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning us.' So while the Riggalls are in this, I pray they choose with their wills to thank You.
And, Lord, Your Word says, 'All things'--including this--'work together for good to those who love You'--and they do--'and are called according to Your purpose'--and they are.
You have also said that heaven and earth will pass away before Your Word passes away. So Your Word is truer than anything they are feeling or experiencing right now."
Rom. 8:28-30
...praying and will continue to do so.
Praying lots for you guys this week and beyond, and will be checking in for updates often!
