Late last night Lydia had an appendectomy.
She’s doing great.
As I write she’s watching a movie, surrounded by the flowers and balloons and clutching the stuffed horse her father bought her. She’s thrilled to be missing school.
I spent a very short night’s sleep on a little chair bed beside her and am having a little trouble typing and spelling.
This has been a surreal time. 24 hours ago she was fine and now, thank God, she is fine again. She is our middle child, between an older brother with special needs and a much younger sister. Hers is a challenging position. Paul and I are praying that God uses this experience to communicate to Lydia, in the depths of her spirit, that she is a cherished member of our family, that she is beloved, because she is.

We all send our love too! And Lydia, we are also playing hooky from school (Monday). But, not for such a grand reason as you! We love you. We hope you heal quickly. Rob, Sara, Anna, Izzy, Dottie, Reeny and Petunia.
