Prayers Needed

My son Christopher had surgery today to have his lower jaw broke and re-set. He did very well during the surgery which took a little over 4 hours to complete. He has been in braces for two years and this surgery was needed to align his bite, allowing him to chew better so that his food would be properly processed. He is in a lot of pain and will have his jaw wired shut for 6 weeks. It is the hardest to be a parent and see your child in pain and feel so helpless. We had a couple of moments in recovery that were very scary for him & us. He was finally resting comfortably and I was able to come home for a couple of hours sleep before heading back. I ask you, dear blogging friends, to please say a prayer for him and keep him in your thoughts.

Hugs,
~Toni~

  2. It is always hard to see our children suffer when we can do nothing to stop the pain. Keep your eyes on the fact that in time it will be of such a benefit to him. Prayers are winging your way. Stella
