How I missed my house! The cozy carpeting instead of cold hard floors. The sound of the boys playing instead of the whirr and alarms of machines beeping. But while I was home I thought constantly of C and if he was ok. I got the chance to get a much needed massage. I never fall alseep but this time I did. She knew exactly where I hurt and it felt awesome. It did wonders for my well being! I got caught up on a few things an dlife there shall go on with out me until next week! :)
Marv on the other hand didnt have a good nite. He got to sleep on the hard couch that his 6 foot frame can just stretch out on. C had an average night and was wide awake today when I got back. He was doing the secret handshake and watching movies and cartoons with Marv. Doc said C is healing nicely all over and his fingers look good. YEAH! C is going in for surgery tomorrow at 8am. Doc will be taking skin off of C's head and grafting his jawline and thumb. If he has any extra he will also be doing the backside of C's arms. I asked why Doc couldnt use the skin off C's back to do those areas. Doc said the pigment in your face and scalp have a yellow undertone and the rest of the body is red. He said that you wont want red skin graft on a more prominent part of your body like the face. Makes sense to me! The more normal C can look after this is over the better for his self esteem!
I was listening to Bebo Norman on the way back to the hospital and happened upon his song 'I will lift my eyes' (I think thats the title).
I will lift my eyes to the maker of the mountains I cant climb.
I will lift my eyes to the calmer of the oceans raging wild.
I will lift my eyes to the healer of the hurt I hold inside!
I will lift my eyes, lift my eyes, to you
cus you are and you were and you will be forever the lover I need to save me.
You fashioned the earth and you hold it together God, so hold me now!
As I was listening to this tears streamed down my face because he is the ultimate healer and mover of mountains and in him is where I put my trust to see us through these next several months and possibly year. He knows whats in store and will equip us to follow through no matter the circumstances.

Your post gave me chills Amy. I'm sure it was no coincidence that that song was playing- it was just for you!! How's that saying go?, there are no coincidences, only God acting anonimously??? I look forward to you posts daily, to hope to hear how its going so well. Best prayers for his surgery tomorrow
