Keeping Life Interesting...

Just a short little message to ask for some prayers...
Bobby and Brogan have been fighting a nasty bug that gave them severe ear infections and colds, and has also affected Brogan's lungs. He has been on nebulizer treatments, but that didn't do the trick so he just started steroids today. We pray that they are on the mend soon. On Saturday, the pediatrician mentioned that he is concerned about Brogan's head. He is worried that the skull sutures are fusing too early (craniosynostosis). On Monday we have an appointment with a plastic surgeon. These are the same guys we had to see for Bobby's head, although we know his problems were more to due with his traumatic delivery. I am not going to lie, the thought of head surgery for Brogan makes me sick! My first thought was why us? Don't we have enough to deal with since Bobby has had 2 open heart surgeries and a third one slated for the summer? I was angry and bitter and feeling sorry for myself and our family. After prayer and reflection, I am working on a change of heart. We are a strong family, and with God on our side we can conquer everything! We are just going to take this one day at a time, and if it comes to surgery for Brogan, ultimately he is in God's hands and we will be there comforting him and helping him fight through. So, if you could just add these prayers to your lists, we would feel honored. If we do indeed have another battle in our future, we need your support along with our Heavenly Father's to get us through. Feel free to pass this along...any and all prayer chains are blessings.
Heart Hugs!
