Charis' surgery day

Praise the Lord, today went well. She had her extra finger removed from her hand and the ear tag and ear sinus repaired. We also had the BAER hearing test before the surgery. They had to sedate her for this test so it was the best time to do it. We received good news! She has completely normal hearing on her right side. On her left side the electrical nerves sending signals to the brain are all working great. This basically means that one day she will have partial (possibly complete) hearing in her left ear. She is deaf on that side now but this is such encouraging news. She is a candidate for other surgery and treatment. You would never know she is deaf on one side by watching her dance. :) Thank you to everyone for praying for her during the surgery.



Charis getting all ready for surgery. It is really early for all this and I think she is wondering why I am not feeding her breakfast.

Bless her heart she has no idea what is coming. She thinks her little gown with Bugs Bunny is so fun!

After surgery in recovery. She is not feeling well and is still waking up.

She just wanted mommy at this point.

On our way home!! She is happy to be leaving the hospital.

She is all smiles even in her droggy state. How precious is that!!

October 10, 2010 - Baby Dedication

We had our dedication this past Sunday. As you can tell Charis was ready to get down and crawl around. Our Youth Pastor Curtis prayed over Charis and the entire family. We had the special treat of having Nana and Papa visiting from TX (Debby's parents Gary & Doris Cassady) What a precious time of remembering that Charis is the Lord's and our committment to teach her the things of the Lord as a family.
