CHRIST IS RISEN!

Easter Comments

Praising His Name!

Just a quick note to let you know that Toryn's 2 week post-op appt. went very well yesterday! Dr. Genecov was very pleased at how everything was healing. He did say the area I was concerned with was just taking a little longer to heal, but he had no doubt it would eventually heal nicely. Thank you, Jesus! The best part was that he released us from the liquid diet! YeeHaw!!!! So we went to Chili's and ate lunch! Toryn enjoyed his grilled chicken, but not as much as the brownie and ice cream he shared with Termite. Can't thank you all enough for your many prayers. We will go back in 6 weeks and the doctor will decide what will be next, but he doesn't think we will have to rush into anything yet.

Random pic

When I'm on the computer, I have help now! Three year old help! He makes it real known that he wants his picture on the blog so he can see himself. (Since he's seldom on here-HA!) Anyways, here's a random pic taken before surgery.

Got Sympathy?

Toryn was feeling rotten the day this was taken, and he was making certain his brother was giving him plenty of sympathy!

Father/Daughter Ball

Last Saturday night, Termite and Tessa went to a Father/Daughter Ball held in Midland. It was put on by the famous Christian singing group, BarlowGirl. They got to have their picture taken with BarlowGirl. They had a really nice time.

My little red-neck husband can clean up well. He looked very handsome in his tux! (And he didn't even cut the sleeves out of it! hee hee)

Tessa looked very pretty!

Calling all Prayer Warriors, Please!

I am asking that you continue to pray for Toryn. (We deeply appreciate those prayers lifted up on his behalf already!) Like I have mentioned already, his palate surgery was March 19th, and was deemed successful. Since the surgery, there is a area that is not healing as well as the rest of it. We went back last Friday to have the stitches removed from his lip (which is looking great!), and the nurse looked at the spot that we were concerned with and said not to be alarmed yet, we would see how it looks in a week. (We weren't able to see the doctor, but the nurse has lots of experience in this area, too.) Since then, it has gotten worse and seems larger to me. We go back to Dallas tomorrow for our two week post-op appt. Please pray that the area of concern is healing and it won't require more surgery at this time. Also, please pray that we can be released from the liquid diet! Thank you all, and God bless,

This is what happens when you've just had your palate repaired and the doctor says everything eaten must pour from a cup....even popsicles! (Does that smile indicate how well Toryn is feeling? Thank you, Jesus!)
