Surgery

After many doctors appointments and a long day at the doctor in Los Angeles,
Millie will be going in for surgery tomorrow.

The doctor told me today that she has a cataract and they will be putting her under to operate.

I would be lying if I told you I wasn't nervous for my baby, because I am, but I know that this is best for her and her future eye sight. 

It makes me cry to see my baby girl go through this.  It's hard to not ask the big "WHY?" but I'll be honest, I have asked that many times.  

Why does such a perfect little angel have to go through this?  

But I know that this experience will only make me stronger.  

I am grateful that it isn't something more serious.  

It could be 10x worse.

This is a trial that we are facing and will learn, have already learned and continue to learn from.  

Cason gave her a blessing last night, before todays appointment, and will give her another blessing tonight before the big surgery.  We are turning it over to the Lord and putting it in His hands and know that everything will be okay in the end.  

I don't ever want to put Millie down.  I just hold her and cuddle her in her white rocking chair.

I kiss her little cheekies 5 million times a day and never stop.  

When I look at her she makes me cry.  It hurts me to know that something is wrong with her eye. 

I get the smallest glimpse of how much our Savior loves each of us.  

I just want to take this from her.  

I will deal with it.  I don't want her to.  

But I know that she is in good hands and will be taken care of.

I will give you more details at a later date...

but if you wouldn't mind just saying a simple prayer for our little Millie.

It means so much to us.  So thank you.

I have faith that everything will be okay.
