A great big thank you to everyone who lifted up our little guy in prayer today! We can feel them! Toryn had his surgery today to repair his palate in Dallas. They repaired his palate, revised his nose to look a little more cosmetic, and placed tubes in his ears. (The cleft babies usually have lots of fluid on their ears, which he did.) His poor little face looks like he was in a fist fight and lost! Lots of swelling and bruising, which is to be expected. The surgery was very successful, praise our good Lord! We know it was because of all the prayers! Dr. Genecov said he will need to work on the inside of his nose and do a little more to his lip at a later date, in about 3 to 6 months. I wasn't expecting another surgery so quick, but we will do whatever is recommended! Our doctor is awesome and very good at what he does! We are very pleased with him,his staff, and so far the hospital! (Thank you so much Kenny and Leasa for highly recommending him!) Toryn has slept most of the day, thanks to some good pain meds. Please continue to pray for him for the next two weeks. He is a very, very active three year old, and all boy! Keeping him down and his arms restrained so he cannot damage the repairs will definitely be a challenge. The doctor said tonight and tomorrow will be the roughest. We should be released either Fri. or Sat.
We are so thankful that God gave us this precious little guy. We cannot even imagine life without him. I often tell everyone that he just filled a hole that we didn't even know was empty, and it's so true. He has been such a blessing and brings such joy and delight to our family! Our God is so good! I just wish everyone could experience this amazing journey that we have been allowed to experience by our precious Savior. Adoption is truly a miracle. (And just for the record, there are several of you who I am praying that God will touch your hearts with adoption! Stop making excuses! ;o) ) Toryn has bonded with us and adjusted tremendously. God prepared this little guy for this huge change in his life long before we even knew he was the one God had for us! How awesome is that! I am in awe at God's goodness!
Thank you again for your prayers for us! Thank you for all you do! Thank you all for just being you! We love you all and cannot thank you enough for helping us bring Toryn home and into our lives! May God bless you all!

Glad to have an update. I thought of you guys throughout the day yesterday and prayers were said. Our surgeon said the same thing about Hudson, working on the inside of his nose and future lip revisions. Praying for sleep for all.....do you need to keep arm restraints on for two weeks??? We never put them on Hudson. Our surgeon said if he leave his nose/palate alone, don't bother...he did so we didn't....
I cant remember where Dr. g. is at but another family from AWAA is having their daughter's surgery today (fri.). She is on my blog...shaylee....and her mom was my secret sis. If you see them give each other hugs for me!!!
Praying hard, my friend! Can't wait to come see you all when you get home! Lotsa Love!
HHmmmm...I don't know who you could possibly be praying might feel lead to adopt but I bet we are tag teaming them!
