“I would rather be what God chose to make me than the most glorious creature that I could think of, for to have been thought about, born in God’s thought, and then made by God, is the dearest, grandest, and most precious thing in all thinking.”

Wren's surgery went well! They had mentioned post-op the possibility of keeping him in on some morphine to help with the pain. As he was coming out of his drug induced sleep, he seemed very uncomfortable to say the least. However, I chalked it up to the anesthesia and thought he would be okay. Boy, as a mommy was I wrong. He was in horrendous pain for the first two days - and of all the times I have chosen not to keep him in the hospital, this was not a good one. But he has persevered, and is on his way to recovery. The steri-strips are still in tact and will come off at some point next week - otherwise, getting back to normal. :-)
This semester is wrapping up for me in the next 2 weeks and it feels good to be that much closer to "The Program" - as I like to refer to it. :-) God has been merciful and gracious to my memory in the midst of great business. I find school to be a great joy and a great stress all in the same breath - but I continue to look forward to each new semester.
Wren is doing amazing in school. He can write and spell his name, recognize 8 of the 26 letters of the alphabet, count to 18 and recognize numbers up to 12 and has made a new friend, Ben, this year. He is blossoming as a little boy and is such a joy to have around. :-) Thank you, Lord, for giving us this season!
