Surgery Update

Hello Friends, Most of you already know, but for those that do not, Cutter was not able to have surgery yesterday. Maverick came down with the flu on Friday. Cutter ran a slight fever on Saturday, then started again Tuesday morning at 3:30. By the time it was time to go to the hospital his fever had broken, but he did still have a cough and some congestion. Because of this it was decided that Cutter could not have anesthesia. There were too many risks involved for the surgery to happen that day. They told us that he could have surgery in 4-6 weeks. We were on an emotional roller coaster yesterday, that is for sure! We were filled with confusion, relief, sadness, and frustration. We know that it is all in God's timing and that we must be patient. This definitely gives us more time to prepare and more time to pray for little Cutter and the doctors involved. West Marion Elementary School is doing a benefit dinner for our family on Friday night, and now we get to attend! We were sad that we were going to have to miss it, but now, we won't! We are so thankful for all of the hard work that our friends have done to get ready for the benefit. And the support from our community has been AMAZING. We are feeling so blessed right now! Chapel Hill called today, and Cutter's surgery has been rescheduled. He will have pre-op on March 12, his first surgery on March 13, and his second surgery on March 20. It is easier said than done to not question God's plans, but we are trying hard. We know God loves us, and we know He loves Cutter more than we do. He has his best interests at heart, even though it is SOOOO hard for us to understand. For some reason, it was just not time this time around. There is a bigger picture, and we hope that in time, God will reveal it to us! Thank you for your continued prayers and support! We will keep you updated!
