Surgery is complete

We just spoke with Dr. Gates who said Elijah's surgery went very well. It is over. We can sigh with relief, but I really still want to cry.

Elijah was able to keep his heel pad...that will be his stump...I'm not sure I like the word stump, but for now, I will use it.

Thank you for continuing to pray. Please pray Elijah doesn't miss his feet and that he has NO pain. Pray that he can rest and have peace. He's been anxious since we arrived. The minute we pulled up to the hospital he started crying. He knew...not that his feet would be taken...but that he would not have a fun time at this great hospital.

The child life specialist made a mold of Eli's precious feet for me. I should have known that this great place would be a step ahead of me.

We love you,
Melissa

Praying with you that Eli is in no pain and will not miss his feet, and asking God to comfort you as you struggle to understand and to accept. May our gracious and loving Father give you peace, the peace that passes all understanding and permeate your hearts with a calm and precious assurance that Eli is smack-dab in the middle of God's will this day. This will be my fervent prayer today and in the days to come.
