That's Tolkien, in case you forgot. :)
After sharing our news about Cara's diagnosis and need for surgery, so many of you reached out to us. You've shared your cranio stories (I have new friends!), you've called/messaged/texted to express your love and let us know that we are in your thoughts and prayers, and you have encouraged us with songs and scripture verses. Know that we cling mightily to those, even if they are received with just a "like" or a smile.
Over the last few weeks/months, we've been back and forth to Columbia several times, meeting all of Cara's surgical team. Her doctors are so knowledgeable and have been so gracious answering our questions and addressing our concerns. Right now, the plan is for Cara to have her surgery Wednesday, March 11. The date makes it more real to us, but we are confident in her team of doctors and, more importantly, God's sovereignty.
During our transition from graduate school to our next job and home (you can keep praying about that, btw), we never expected to be preparing for a surgery for our sweet baby girl. But, here we are, and we know that God is with us and will never leave us (Deut. 31:6-8). We believe He is capable of planting trees in the desert (Isaiah 41:19), and we know we are more valuable to Him than the birds of the air (Matthew 6:25-34).
