Prayer Request

Did you know that if the Earth was the size of a golfball, the largest star that has been discovered (so far) would have a diameter the height of Mt. Everest? Pretty amazing, huh? (thank you Louis Giglio for sharing that information!)

vs.

Kind of gives me a different, better, bigger perspective of the Creator of ALL things. I suppose if He can keep that huge mass up in the sky and design and keep all the galaxies of the universe afloat, He can handle whatever I'm facing. And not only can He handle it,...He cares about it.

1. Matthew 6:30

1. And if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you.

1. 
   

1. Philippians 4:6-7

1. Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.

SO.....

With all that in mind, please be in prayer for Luke and Joel. We are facing some medical concerns with both boys. I recognize that no matter how it seems to us, none of this catches God by surprise and He is in control. Nonetheless, we would appreciate your prayers concerning our precious sons.

Luke was referred to a Dr. at Children's Mercy for the 'bump" on his forehead. To catch some of you up, Luke has had this bump since August and it doesn't seem to go away, Also, whenever he bumps his head at all, it reacts very strangely (different than your normal goose-egg), and does so again and again in the same spot regardless of how hard he bumps his head. We went there yesterday and the Specialist has ordered a CT scan of Luke's head. Luke will be sedated for the procedure which will take place on Monday, November 28. I'm not thrilled with the idea of Luke having all that radiation on his little tiny body, but as my sister who is a Doctor has reassured me, the Dr. wouldn't order it unless he thought it was necessary. We must trust God gives us Dr.'s for a reason and all their training counts for something!

(The 1st pic shows what the "bump" looks like daily,...the others, after he has actually bumped it on something--although the pics don't do it justice)

We will most likely be seeing a specialist at Children's Mercy in regards to some concerns about Joel as well. When Joel first came home he had some test results with which we weren't thrilled. As a result of some new developments, some of our concerns in regards to that testing have re-surfaced. We are seeking wisdom in the direction to take in a potential 9 month treatment plan.

Your prayers are greatly appreciated!
