To God be the Glory!

It is 10:30 AM and we have been home about 30 minutes. Rhett's surgery went well and Dr. Cranston said Rhett did fine. He was crying pretty hard waking up but calmed down pretty well after getting back with momma and daddy. The surgeon said the "bumps" were pockets of blood. PRAISE GOD! No weird tissue or fluid. He thinks they were probably lymph nodes that died/disintegrated and then filled with blood. Why? Who knows. But they are gone now! Once he drank a little water and ate a little fruit bar, we were ready to go home. But not before Rhett threw up that water and fruit bar all over daddy. He's drinking and eating crackers now and although he's tired, he seems to be doing fine. We go back to the surgeon in a week for a check-up.

Thank you for all your prayers for Rhett (and Momma and Daddy). God had His hand on Rhett today I know. We are so blessed to have God as our Great Physician, guiding and directing the doctors and nurses working with Rhett today. Thanks, also, to Aunt Cindy for staying with Leah at home some we could both be with Rhett at the hospital.

Lord, I cannot praise you enough! I stand in awe of your power and concern for us. I cannot comprehend how you love Rhett more than I do, but I know you do. Thank you for THIS day. We love you, Jesus!

Hey Erin,

Thanks for the prayers for our little guy and his surgery. I was just reading about Rhett's surgery. To God be the Glory...so true! Are you guys near Newton?! That's where I grew up! And if Dr. Cranston is the same guy I know, his wife was my high school french teacher! Small world!

Again, know we really appreciate the prayers and are praising God for his goodness in your situation as well!

Take care!
Amy
