I didn't know I could hold my breath for over an hour, but I just did. They took her back around 8:30 and told us it would take around an hour before we would get our first phone call that the surgery was starting. By 10:00 I almost couldn't take it. Why wouldn't the phone ring? Thankfully I was surrounded by a room full of friends and family to keep me from totally losing it. Pastor Drew Scott, Pastor Aaron Martin, my mother in law, father and precious friend Stephen Archer were standing beside us during what seemed to be a lifetime.
Then it happened... the most beautiful sound in the world... the ring of a phone.
The nurse said it took a little longer to get her anesthesia going, but she is doing fine and they had begun the surgery.
"She's doing fine"... such beautiful words. I can breath again.
Phone call #1 is down... can't wait to get the next one.
Bethany and Drew, I'm praying for ya'll and your little mia today. I know God will work his miracles and hold her through the surgery. Thanks for all the updates. Lots of love and prayers from Louisiana!
