 We had a rollover coaster ride morning. We were up and ready and at the hospital at 0600 this morning for Kate’s 0800 surgery. Unfortunately her bloodwork showed that her blood thinner level was too high to be safe for surgery. We were afraid that would happen because they had prescribed 100 ml twice a day of the Lovenox bridge which was much higher than what they had done before. So —— we are now scheduled  for surgery next Tuesday morning and they have lowered the dose of medicine required to bring her levels into tolerance. 

One good thing is that her doctor also examined the open wound that we have been treating for the past six weeks. He prescribed a better method of healing for it. So, there is that and hopefully that will be fully under control by next Tuesday too. But it was aa huge disappointment. 

Having said that —— I got to thinking about it and I can see God’s hand in it all once again. My prayers have been that God guide the hands and decisions of Kate’s doctors throughout this entire process. This morning her doctor sent her back home because her bloodwork indicated that it wasn’t totally safe to do the surgery. I can’t be mad when God answers my prayers. Sometimes I forget that. 

Have a blessed day! Peace.
