Last week on Friday while we were sitting in the surgery waiting area at Wolfson Children's hospital before Collin's surgery I will admit, I was feeling pretty sorry for ourselves & like this was the end of the world. Well while we there were waiting we saw so many other babies with worse problems - heart conditions, etc - that it really made me stop for a moment and thank God for all of the many ways that he has over abundantly blessed our family.
While no one ever wants their 7-week-old baby to have surgery, in the big scheme of things his procedure (fistulaectomy - I know that it not how you spell it) was relatively minor, the entire procedure lasted less than an hour, and we took him home with us after only a few hours in recovery. God is good!
Thankfully Collin is recovering well & I don't think he has any idea what happened.
In other news, my sister is coming on Monday to visit!!!! I unfortunately have to go back to work next week, so she is going to be able to keep him for us for a few more weeks before we have to put him in daycare - Collin is one lucky baby to have such a sweet aunt Becca. I can't wait to see her!
