Nora's surgery is scheduled for Monday, to start at approximately 10:00. We will be over night at least one night and then back on Friday to get her lip sutures removed. In order to proceed with surgery Nora has to be healthy. Unfortunately, little Miss has a cold right now and is rather congested, but I'm thankful to say that no more fever like earlier this week. I really think she is on the mend (and her temperament is great today ... and, she's getting into plenty of trouble ... this girl "explores" way more than any of our other children at this age ... seriously, we are going to actually need to put locks on cupboards!).
Anyhow, back to surgery. Part of me is a little excited at the thought of postponing surgery, more time with Nora just the way God made her and a Christmas without "no-no's" (arm restraints that she will need to wear after surgery, for two to three weeks, to prevent her from putting her hands and other items in her mouth). BUT, the other part of me knows that to anticipate a new surgery date and to prepare for it emotionally and psychologically would be draining. So, we will continue to pray for God's will and will continue to pray that this means surgery on Monday.
Love this girl ... and her fun Daddy

love that smile! Praying for you and Jason and the surgeon on monday! I know little Miss Nora will be just fine!
love, love, love this pic...and regularly praying for Nora's upcoming surgery (and for the heart needs that accompany it). Love you all!
Wow, Heather! How fast the surgery date has crept up! Praying that Nora can make the date and that you and her will do very well through it all. God is the one who will keep you..and her.
Will be covering Nora and your family in prayers....sweet precious, Nora. Keep us updated, praying, knowing God's timing for the surgery is perfect.
The picture is precious!!!!! Hope she does so well. Our friends we made while in China who live close to us little one had cleft and her surgeries went great!!!!! Just to try to encourage you. I think her hardest one was her pallette surgery, but they said the lip didn't bother her at all. God is good praying for quick recovery and no pain for your sweet girl.
Praying for y'all!
