why surgery
yesterday was a big day for ian. a day that he willingly walked into because he believes in God’s faithfulness and provision for his future.
we took on yesterday because we believe that ian is too young to give up hope on him walking again.
we let yesterday into our lives because we have an incredible surgeon who loves ian.
yesterday happened because God brought walking back into ian’s life through his hard work, an incredible caregiver and a stubborn therapist who changed our lives. their work meant this surgery could happen.
and God went beyond our expectations, letting an expected 8 hour surgery happen in less than 3.
and now ian’s leg heals. and it heals into straightness, a shape it hasn’t been in since eight years ago.
he heals under the hums of the hospital room and next door patients.
and we enter into a new season of recovery. and remembering that God still knows us.
much love,
l

And God saw that it was good. These are the miracles that are like "a deluge in a paper cup", drink up friends. You bless us by just letting us watch God work in you. Go Team Ian.
