Coming Alongside


I have been so amazed and encouraged by all the people who have written to us over the past few days to reassure us about Zoey's upcoming surgery.

Ya'll are awesome!

Most have been parents of a child who had a similar or identical procedure and who told me more of what I needed to know. Some were professionals who took care of children with prosthetics, and offered a kind, encouraging word.

God is so good to send friends alongside when we are feeling a little discouraged, don't you think?

Zoey hasn't said much about her new leg, although we have decided to go with a fun fabric laminated onto her leg rather than the fake, shiny skin look. Hopefully, we can have fun picking out what she wants.
We are also going to make a mold of her little foot so that she can always have it. Another mom sent pictures of her daughter making one and shared how much it meant to her daughter to have the momento.

God is good...His plans are good...He loves us with a perfect love.
