This was a few hours after surgery. They got her out of bed and gave her to me to hold. I wouldn't pick her up before they gave her to me; I was afraid to touch her.


This has been a long ordeal. I'm glad the worst is over. We appreciate all the prayers so much. I have thought about Isaiah 41:10 & 13 a lot. The Lord takes hold of our right hand and tells us not to be afraid. I have baby sat many kids in my adult life (including my own). I've taken some by the hand and had them plant their heals and quit walking. I've also had them go limp and had to pick them up and carry them. I know He has been holding my hand, but it still hasn't been a pleasant experience. I'm glad He didn't let go or leave us alone though. He is faithful; He has seen us through.
Will write more a little later. Papaw Jr. is wanting to know where a mall is to take Chandler and Kara tonight. He is getting stir crazy. It won't be pleasant for anyone until he gets settled. Ha! If pappy ain't happy, ain't nobody happy!
