Our prayers were answered!!!

Ford had surgery on Thursday to repair an inguinal hernia. He did great and is recovering so well. So many of you prayed for Ford and we are so grateful to all of you! We felt covered in prayer the whole time. It was by far one of the hardest things I have ever done and we are SO relieved that he is doing well and it's all over! I can't even explain the feeling I felt when they took him away...scared, guilt, helplessness, anxiety, worry.... it was terrible! My faith that God would protect my sweet baby was truly tested. My good friend Ashley Hodges sent me this verse and I just continued to pray and think about it. Thanks Ash!

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, submit your requests to the Lord. And the peace of God which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4 6:7

We did have a moment of relief while waiting for his surgery! After the nurse took his history, she asked me to get him undressed and handed me the tiniest yellow hospital gown to put on Ford. Erik and I both had to laugh because it even had the ties in the back that expose your bottom! They also gave us those yellow socks to put on him which he repeatedly kicked off! We just had to take a picture! He also loved the giant teddy bear in his hospital bed with him!
