Change in Plans...

Remember when I said we may need to delay travel for Little Buddy in order to make sure Mei Mei has enough time to recover from her surgery?  Remember when I said we were praying for a cancellation ASAP?  Well...

There is a sweet family in our community who we have known for several years.  They have six beautiful children (four of which were born in China).  Their youngest son, J, is cleft affected so he and our Mei Mei share the same Pediatric Plastic Surgeon.  J has been scheduled for surgery on May 16 with Dr. K for several months.  Can you guess what procedure?  That's right.  The exact same procedure Mei Mei is scheduled on June 20.  L and her husband C knew of our timing situation between surgery for one child and travel for the other.  With one simple unexpected email they offered up the May 16th surgery date to our Mei Mei.  Could there be a greater gift to our family right now?  I don't think so. 

It has a roller coaster of a day--yes.  no.  yes.  no--but somehow God worked it all out.  She is now scheduled for May 16 at 1:30 pm.  Their son J is now scheduled for later in the summer when it works better for their family.  Thank you Lord for your unexpected gifts.
