Those are some fancy words for: It's Scope Day!
Thank you to every one of you who has already been praying for this day! Judah is nervous, but OK. He knows he's getting a test today that he gets to sleep for, and that's all the information he can handle.
Thanks to some smart mom planning (and Thank You, Jesus!), Judah is actually looking forward to going to Childrens today, because he is having his annual bone age done before anything else today. Just a simple x-ray of his hand. But he loves it because he knows exactly what it is, he's good at it, and they send him home with a printout of the x-ray. He's kind of a big deal;)
For those of you that don't know what today is about, here's a brief overview:
Tests last month showed evidence of an obstruction in Judah's ureter which is beginning to affect the health of his good kidney. Today, he'll go under general and they will send a scope in there to hopefully see the obstruction. Our prayer is that it will be obvious so that Judah can have surgery to remove it and then we can move on and get back to normal kidney health maintenance. If they are unable to see an obstruction because the scope can't reach the entire ureter, then we move on to plan B. Which I will detail at a later time if I need to. For now, we focus on the scope and what it shows today.
I appreciate so much all of you praying for PEACE for Judah today, and the ability to REST IN JESUS, knowing that he is NOT ALONE and he doesn't have to be afraid. Please pray that the Lord would give us words for Judah when he is anxious and wisdom to know how best to comfort him when he is waking up sad and scared. And please pray for wisdom for us moving forward, as well as peace in our own hearts today, and trust. God has been showing me recently that I have some deeply rooted trust issues. They tend to seep into areas of my life unexpectedly. Just when I think I'm doing OK, a lack of trust, aka fear, will rear it's ugly head.
I will keep you all posted. Thanks everyone!
