We're here!

Quantum House will be our home away from home for the next 2 weeks.  It houses up to 10 families whose children are being treated at St. Mary's.  We have our own private bedroom and bathroom but share a kitchen, dining room, and playroom.  John Thomas is already excited about meeting new friends and playing golf on Wednesdays!  The staff has been so wonderful in welcoming us.  Special thanks to our angel, Jennifer Scott, for making the arrangements for us to stay here.  It's very rare that there is an opening.


Today was a day for pre op tests.  Even though we really didn't have to wait that long at these appointments, it was hard because we know what's ahead of us. What has seemed like an eternity of waiting is now here....tomorrow is the big day.   It was reassuring for us to see this map.  People from all over the world come here for treatment.  Why?  Because this is the best place to be for perthes and limb lengthening.

Dr. Paley is on vacation, so Dr. Feldman will be doing the surgery tomorrow.  It is scheduled for 8:30 a.m. (Eastern Time) and our arrival to the hospital is 6:00 a.m.  The stay in the hospital can be 1 to 3 days....depending on his recovery.  It' still hard to imagine the pain that Mr. Man will need to go through for the next 4 months.  Praying that we are able to take one day at a time.....sometimes even hour by hour.  Thank you for your sweet comments on FB, texts, messages, and verses of scripture that we're clinging to.  This has been my favorite one today:

Be strong and courageous.  Do not be terrified, do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.  Joshua 1:9

Hug your kids super tight tonight....we're sure missing Jules but know that she's taken care of.  Thanks  Neecy, Cinny, Jeanne, Sara, and June for welcoming her into your homes.  Thanks to my sweet Daddy and Lollie for taking care of our furry little girl, Paisley.  Until tomorrow....


Love,
Janay and Brad
