'Twas the night before

So, here we are, the night before surgery!  Such mixed emotions, so glad to have the surgeon we do for my son, so glad he's so certain he can get him out of pain, so hard watching your boy be rolled away, so hard waiting to hear what they did and how they fixed him. The first thing I think of is how much our Heavenly Father loves us. To send his only son to be born a human knowing in the end he would die for all men!  I can't imagine the pain in His heart as He watched my Savior, His son, walk the path to the cross. My pain is nothing in comparison to that, and He loves my boy that much too; for that I am so thankful!
It's also amazing to me the difference 3 years can make. It's CRAZY to me to look back at where we've come since his last surgery. I can only, again, thank God in heaven for where we are today.  I can not wait to see where we are 3 years from now!
My prayers for the next 24 hours are these; that Christ would be glorified in everything we do or say, that He would give the surgeon and nurses wisdom and clarity, that He would comfort us all and give us peace. 
Thank you to all our friends that have been and continue to pray. We will keep you all updated!
Until next time...
