Jubilee Meets with the Surgeon....

Abi, Ryan and Finn had just moved to a different city and apartment on Sunday.  

Conveniently, her mom, dad, and 7 siblings and 

1 sweet 'sister' "S"

{one of the three sisters who lived with us this winter}

showed up on Tuesday.

haha.  

Poor Abigail.  I told her I was so sorry for the timing. 

 She was gracious and totally understanding

and actually glad we are here!

Anyway, her apartment is not big, so Emma, Graham, 

Liberty and S are staying with them.  

The littles are staying at the hotel with Dw and I.  

It works.  

I texted the big kids last night and asked if any were willing to go 

with me to take Jubilee to the doctor near Stanford University.  

I bribed them by saying that whoever went would get a Starbucks.

Emma, Graham and Liberty kind of wanted to hang out

 with their big sis and little nephew.

S said she would go with me.

So thankful for her being willing! 

This once-city girl is so not used to the freeways 

at a bazillion miles/hour. 

But we made it there and back...

it was a looooong day.

The doctor's staff is wonderful!

The surgeon?

Soooo kind!

Waiting between surgeons and testing....

Seriously! So hope whoever invented crayons and coloring books

 is living happily in some caribbean country sipping lemonade 

with those little umbrella thingys in it. 

 So thankful for them!

People fly from all over the world to have 

this surgeon care for them.

Today alone, after he saw us, he was beginning a 10 hour operation on a little girl whose parents had brought her from China!

The surgery will be Thursday.

Morning.

Exact time unknown.

Thank you for all who have been praying.

We can feel it.

And thank you for all the sweet comments on Sunday's post.

You guys always bring such comfort to my soul.

I laid in bed reading them yesterday and the tears dripped....

which when that happens, ya' know it means? 

Ya' get tears in your ears.
