We are four days away from leaving for Baltimore for the big surgery! If the Lord wants us to go He will make it happen:) We have been down with the Flu for four days but we are getting better. Beginning to pack and get our thoughts in order.
Our wonderful Worship ministry at Riverpark sent us to Disneyland for a fun and eventful few days! We had a great time together riding rides and Praising God for the fun he had provided for us before we left on our 2-3 month journey.
As we are getting ready please pray for clear thoughts on everything that we will and might need:) And that our flights don't get delayed. Danny and the boys and I will be leaving this Friday Jan. 10 and arriving at Baltimore at 4:30 pm. We will have time to get settled for a few days and then we will have appointments on Monday for Jace. We have decided to stay at a home that is on Johns Hopkins campus called the McElderry house. They actually own four homes for families to stay at while at Hopkins. Danny's parents will come out the on Tuesday and Jace's surgery will be on Wednesday January 15th, Lord willing he is still well and doesn't have a cold.
Our dear friend Alysa, who is a NICU nurse, will be flying out to help the Sunday after surgery and staying for four days. And then my parents from Indiana will come out for a few weeks to help out. Our other dear friend Sue, will be coming also to help with the shifts:) So wonderful how God provided these loving people into our lives!
We are excited, and trusting in our Great God to lead us through this time. We just want Jace to be able to put this surgery behind him and move on:) It is hard to imagine, while I write this, how immobile he will be following the surgery. Two months on his back in traction seems unreal right now to me. God knows the plans and we will keep our eyes on Him!
Some specific prayer requests:
* That everyone would get well before we leave and stay well!
* Safety on our journey out to Baltimore
* For the Lord to prepare our hearts, all of our hearts for how to help Jace and keep our eyes on our Lord.
* For finances to come from the Lord for housing and meals while we are there.
For anyone who would like the address of where we will be staying, this is the office of the home: The McElderry House
Attn: The Wakleys
