Double Booked...

“Know therefore that the Lord thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations.”

Deuteronomy 7:9

We’ve had some interesting developments since securing the surgery dates for Santi! Santi’s older sister, Cilicia, who will be turning 19 this summer, is having surgery on the very same day as Santi’s halo placement……in the same hospital…..in the same operating room……….and in the same recovery room!

We discovered that Cilicia has one dysfunctional multicystic kidney that needs to be removed. It is amazing that she has been functioning with one kidney all of her life without our knowing about it. She was experiencing some trouble on that side and after several tests with our family practitioner, we were led to have an ultrasound, which revealed the problem.

Please pray now for BOTH brother and sister teaming up at Shands on June 30th! We know that God is indeed faithful and merciful to us and that this situation has fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel. We anticipate Cilicia and Santi being used of the Lord to give testimony of God’s dealings in their lives through this unusual circumstance. At first, we were taken aback by the “double booking”, but realized that it is a blessing. Santi will have his beloved sister with him. Of course, both will need our care and attention, but they will have each other.

Needless to say, we Hurons are keeping watch here at home and are readying ourselves for some major convalescent care!
