Pray For Baby Micah

Our friends from church Susanne and Jason Kelsall and their son Micah (3 months old) are in Boston today doing his pre-op testing. He will be having open heart surgery tomorrow morning. I don't know the time yet but I am asking that you join us in praying for Micah, his parents Jason, Susanne, as well as the doctors, nurses, and all the other people who will be attending to him tomorrow. Our nurse Moira from 8 south told me that she will look for them tomorrow and try and get on there team. How awesome would that be if she was his nurse. I will update tomorrow when I hear any kind of news on him. Jon and I are planning on going to see him sometime in the next few days. They need our prayers as well as the 3 other kids they have who will be at home.
This hits me in so many ways. I just went and looked back and read when we did all this a year ago. We know all the emotions they are going through even today and especially tomorrow. I never would have thought then that I would be sitting here today with out Lindsay. But God sure knew that she wouldn't be here. God has brought us through so much and he has never left our sides. If we didn't have him by our side I don't think I could have made it this far. But I am here because of God's love for me and for all of you who prayed us through this time in our lives. So as you go about your day today please remember this family in your prayers. As you tuck your little ones into bed tonight hold them a little closer for awhile. When I put Tanner to bed every night we always pray for our nurses, all the babies and kids on 8 south, and all the other heart babies we have been following. And I always end by asking God to give Lindsay lots of hugs and kisses and tell her how much we love and miss her.

Oh how my heart and mind goes back to that day we all went with Lindsay and awaited in Admitting and then up to the surgery floor. I can walk through the halls and 8 South in my mind and feel the emotions, smell the scents of the unit and picture all the nurses and doctors. I, too, can only thank God and our family and friends for praying us through that special time with Lindsay. I will be praying for this family. I am also praying that nurses Moira and Joanna will be able to be apart of this family's life to see once again how God is alive and well and in control of every aspect of our lives. Thanks, Laura, for your love for Lindsay and other heart babies in allowing us to be apart of this special time.
Lindsay Bear, Granny misses you every day. I love you bushels and pecks.
Love,
Mom/Granny

I thought of you today and your feelings. I also know that you are praying for all of them as we continue to pray for all of you. I don't know if you've heard the new Steven Curtis Chapman CD but he shares a lot about losing his daughter in his songs on the CD. I would recommend it to anyone.
Gods blessings and protection to little Micah and his fammily.
