Hospital, Here We are AGAIN!

On Sunday, February 14th we were getting ready for church and giving each other our valentine gifts, when Woody started to feel pain in his chest and stomach. He had had this before, but this time it was worse. Thus, begins our journey in the hospital. Six hours in the ER, we waited on a bed in the hallway of the ER. They finally found a room for us. Woody had gallstones that had gotten in his pancreas and caused this pain. He needed surgery, but he had to wait until his pancreas went down so they had to starve him. No food or drink for days. He handled it really well. Finally, the day is here for the surgery. It is Tuesday evening, and they are in his room ready to take him to surgery, and I find out that the insurance does not cover the doctor who is about to do the surgery. Everything was canceled. By God's grace, there was another doctor who was still there that evening that was on our insurance. Wednesday, at 4:30 in the afternoon, Woody finally gets the surgery that he needs. Thursday afternoon, we finally get to go home, home sweet home.

We give praise and all the glory to God. He is our Healer, our Hope, our Comfort, and our Peace. He worked out all the details and took care of Woody every step of the way. God truly knows best and we have learned to wait for His timing. God is faithful, and our Great Shepherd. Thank you for all our family and friends, who poured out their love to us. We are overwhelmed with all your love and kindness. Thank you for all your prayers. We love you all.
