Momma Worries

Speaking of taking every thought captive, I'm having to confront my worries regarding Ethan's surgery. He's had many medical procedures and tests and in the past they didn't phase him, mostly because he didn't remember the previous experience so by the time he started becoming anxious, it was already over. The past couple of months, it seems he is now remembering his medical experiences and so his last allergy test was quite difficult for him and then his presurgical blood work this week was a challenge as well (I didn't go, that's a daddy job). So we are concerned about how he will handle his upcoming surgery. At this point, I've decided to not tell him anything different than we told him last time; we are going to see a special doctor that will help him with all the coughing he has so he won't have to take medicine all the time. Not sure how well it will go over. We are praying that he is first in line for surgery as I know the dr. has numerous surgeries that day. It will be a challenge to keep him from being anxious if we have to sit and wait for hours and not allow him anything to eat or drink. So am handing this problem to the Lord and praying for his grace and mercy with Ethan and his surgery on the 23rd, won't you pray with me?
