Miss Harper

Yesterday Audrey was 25, today we visited Brenners with Harper to schedule her surgery. Tomorrow morning she will have about 1 1/2 hr surgery to remove two cyst one on her right eye and one on the back of the head, the plastic surgeon said it would take about 30 minutes to do both and that the scar would be very small and they would probably not have to shave her hair. The one on the left temple is the more complicated procedure.  She will probably have a little larger scar near the left temple area, the neuro surgeon  seemed to think it would go pretty smoothly, they have to remove  part of a bone to get to this place and then I believe put it back.  She will probably have to wear a little helmet to protect this area for a little while.  They say when she sleeps she doesn't have to wear it just up moving around in case she would fall.  If this little area is not a cyst they will probably have to schedule a time to check her whole body for more.  Abby was concerned that her job as a nurse dealing with chemo's on a daily basis might have caused this, the doctor told her this type of bone tumor has the doctors stumped to what and why they produce. There seems to be no rhythm or reason for them, they say they are not genetic either. Just pray for skilled hands and for God to lead them.  On a lighter note, I have told not many people  of feelings I believe come from God about Harper.  I know we all think that our children and grandchildren are special.  But this little girl has charisma about her that I can't explain. She hums alot, anytime she hears music. At church she zeros in on Christian songs and knows the name Jesus and smiles when she hears it. She also notices people like no other baby I have seen.  While at the hospital, a little boy in a electric wheelchair came to the window near where we were sitting.  Harper saw him and started laughing and waving like she knew him.   When he went to sit in the lobby near us she went crazy trying to see him. There was this other baby that you could tell his eyes were messed up and he might of had some downs syndrome symptoms she smiled and clapped for him and just wanted to touch him. She did not do that with the other healthy children there. Her mother is a true nurses heart and I am just wondering if that compassion is already instilled in Harper from her creator. Josh and I had some work to do in the office after the hospital, he sat down in the chair and fell asleep, he is pretty stressed and does even know it or want to admit it.  Men and their feelings, Joey has made himself sick with concern.  I think the bronchitis has hit him. No matter how you try not to be concerned or worry, the unknown can be a little scary.  Trust in the almighty is there, I can't imagine living life without it and I don't know how people function without the caring arms surrounding you of your creator. This is a learning experience for all of us and one day we will say, look what God did
