As we sit here it's weird and sort of unsettling to think that Judah looks different. He'll never be the same. When we met with the surgeon before surgery he was very reassuring. I know he's right: I will re-bond with Judah and think he's so beautiful all over again. I will fall in love with each little face...however many there may be. But really, this is odd.
At 8:30 Dr. B. (the plastic surgeon) came out and gave us a great report...with a twist. He said his part with Judah's lip & fingers went very well, and his lip turned out beautifully. But the doctor who was going to do his tubes didn't show. A miscommunication between the different offices regarding scheduling, etc. Bummer. Things like this happen. I believe that God is in control, and that there is a reason. However, I am not looking forward to having to put Judah through all of this again just for a 2 minute procedure. Gr. BUT GOD...
God is funny. Not always funny ha-ha...but just funny. No sooner had Dr. B. left, than Judah's surgical nurse came to touch base with us again. She said just as they were going to be turning off everything to take Judah to recovery the other surgeon called and said he was on his way! Talk about being "in the nick of time". Still not sure where the miscommunication came in, but regardless of his schedule today, Dr. K. is on his way to put the tubes in Judah's ears. And the timing of his call was such that they could just keep Judah sleeping, waiting for him to get here. Thank You, Lord. You're amazing.
I can't wait to see Judah.....
