Consent for Surgery

Last night, Justin and I signed the consent for Moriah's surgery. After going through the details and risks of the procedure, we signed away, knowing God is the ultimate surgeon. As the nurse practitioner was explaining the intricate details of Moriah's heart and how they are going to try to fix it, I couldn't help but think to myself, "Wow. She was made so perfect. God made her exactly the way He wanted. This is just the journey He has written for her, and for us..."
I signed the consent, accepting God's will for our family, coming to Him with open arms, and trusting in Him that He knows what's best.
Surgery is scheduled for 7am Friday morning. It it his only surgery for the day, and it is expected to last 12-14 hours.
Thank you guys for your steadfast hearts. This continues to be a journey, and it means so much to have others walk along side us.

This is a scripture Justin and I picked out for Moriah on the day of her first open heart surgery, only 5 days old at the time. Coming up on 10 months now, it is amazing to see how true and fitting this psalm is for our beautiful baby girl. We are so blessed to have her in our lives as she continues to inspire us as her Mom and Dad each and every day...

"O Lord, you alone are my hope.
I’ve trusted you, O Lord, from childhood.
Yes, you have been with me from birth;
from my mother’s womb you have cared for me.
No wonder I am always praising you!
My life is an example to many,
because you have been my strength and protection.
That is why I can never stop praising you;
I declare your glory all day long."

Psalm 71:5-8

God is good.

Love always,
