4:00am Prayers

I have not been sleeping the best lately. This morning I woke up at 4:00am and could not go back to sleep. I was feeling anxious. I began playing out in my my mind tomorrow's pre-op appointment. I then began to worry about Monday and surgery. Knowing that I would not be able to get back to sleep I went out to lay on the couch and began praying. Eventually I fell back asleep. This morning God answered my prayers. The child life specialist at Medical City Dallas called because she had heard that I was not going to tell Emily about surgery. She was concerned and we talked for awhile on the phone. She said that she was going to call me back after she had talked to a couple of people about Emily. She called back and everyone that she talked to agreed that coming tomorrow for pre-op would only make things worse. Instead they are going to have us come in very early on Monday morning and do all pre-op stuff then. Wow, my prayers were answered. They are also going to contact the anesthesiologist and ask if they can call in something for Emily to take either Sunday night or Monday morning to calm her a bit. The child life specialist is also going to meet with Emily Monday morning to help Emily get through the morning. What a blessing. God is good!!!!!!!!!!
