On Jael's 3 week birthday she went into surgery for pyloric stinoisis...a disease which causes the pyloric valve (the muscle at the bottom of the stomach which allows food to pass into the intestines) to thicken and close up refusing to allow food to pass from the stomach into the intestines. The surgery is pretty straight forward and simple. I cannot begin to tell you all the ways that the LORD rained down his grace and mercy on us during this process. The surgeon that performed the surgery on our sweet baby was a beautiful Christian woman who prayed over us, Jael, herself and her surgical team before going into surgery. It was beautiful to hear her confess her dependance upon Christ and her love for her Savior. My heart was so much more peaceful after that. She came out of surgery with no complications. The first 18 hours we're a lil bumpy- still throwing up after feedings...but by the evening of the next day she was released to go home! We are so so humbled by the way the Lord cared and provided for us during this trial...all the church family who supported us and prayed for us, for my sister flying down to be with us, for believing family who lifted us up, for the Word of God and His Comforter, for wonderful nursing staff and the list could go on forever! Praise God for this work, for this trail, for this testing of our faith...and we would praise Him even if He would have taken Jael from us, she is not ours and we trust the Lord to do what will bring Him most glory!!! But are so so thankful that He saw fit to heal our child. May we be found faithful in His sight as we raise this gift to love and serve the Living God!
Here are a few pics of her lil journey!
