Let me first start by telling you all that on Wednesday night Joshua accepted Christ. He had been questioning Matt and I for some time now and we did not feel he was ready before. He called us into his bedroom and told us what was on his heart and boy oh boy is he ready. He explained the plan of salvation better than I could have ever thought about it! He accepted Christ right then and there and told us he had "flurries" in his heart after he prayed. He will be baptized this Sunday. We are beyond words proud of our "not so little" guy!
Madelyn is doing extremely well with her "doggie boo-boo". Unfortunately the plastic surgeon did not have much good news for us on Friday. He said the lip did not reattach itself and is dying and will soon fall off. But......he did say the longer it holds on the more the underneath will heal! Madelyn will need some plastic surgery but at this point they are not sure of how many or how often. It could be as little as one or as many as 4-5 within the course of a year. The lip is a sensitive spot and is hard to reconstruct. The positive part of this is that Madelyn is physically healthy and is doing really good. She does not complain and acts as though nothing has happened! She is such a tough little gal!
We have a busy weekend coming up with Pinckneyville's annual Mardi Gras fall festival and then Joshua's big day on Sunday. I will post some pictures after this weekend.
Thanks to all of you who have been praying for Madelyn to heal.
