Thanks

Thank you to all of you who have left comments or contacted me regarding my last post. It has been such a blessing to read what everyone had to say. We covet your prayers, thank you so much!

I didn't mention in my post that the neurologist that we had been referred to ("The Man" as far as neurologists in this area) scheduled an appointment for us in March. I called Ella's pediatrician and they were upset that he would expect her to wait until then to be seen. Though it wasn't HIM scheduling the appointment, and what would the receptionist know about Ella's case? The pediatrician's office called me the next day with an appointment with a different neurologist in January. This is so much more palatable; I'm hoping that we can get her seizures under control before we go to Ethiopia. I kept thinking a few weeks ago, in the throes of the unknown, "What if I had two more babies here? I would be a mess!" So, even if I was upset about the wait, God's mercy is evident in allowing us time to take care of Ella before we are taking care of two more children.

You're right. God's timing is perfect. I have to keep reminding myself of that. We are praying that the doctors will figure out what is going on with Ella and that your other two little ones come in God's perfect timing.

With love,
Penelope

Yes! God has been very merciful with the timing of things for our family over the last year. This was such a good reminder to rest in His faithfulness!

We're praying for your family and also this specific thing with Ella. I hope this Jan appointment accomplishes everything it needs to! I'm so astounded by the wait to see specialists!

Under the Mercy,
Erica
