I Won!!!

I did it! I faced my Fear Giant and won!

First off, for all those praying for Lydia, THANK YOU! Lydia's MRI came back completely normal and no sign of a tumor.

As with any trial in life, if you look hard enough you will find God working in and through the trial itself.

I prayed that God would send his angels to Lydia in her dreams while under general anesthesia. Sometimes, God let's you in on the hidden things by making it obvious.

When Lydia and I were taken back to the MRI prep room, we entered the "Curious George" room. To Lydia's delight 'monkey George' was there to greet her and keep her happily entertained. Lydia watches 'monkey George' atleast 3 times a week.

Lydia was offered a choice of chapsticks for the Anesthesiologist to use to make the 'gas' smell good while she drifted off to sleep. They handed Lydia the tray of chapsticks and let her choose. She said; "I take this one" and promptly popped off the lid and applied to her beautiful pink lips. The Dr. and nurse laughed and said,"Congratulations, you now get to take that one home!" She was so excited! She quickly asked if I could hold on to it while she "took her medicine". Lydia drifted to sleep easily and without a fight.

I held it together until I kissed her goodbye. There is nothing more frightening than leaving her with people who will 'care' for her medically but don't have a clue as to who she is!! I was escorted back to the waiting room and when my hand pushed the last door open, my phone rang. Joanne called, because she knew from experience that walking away from your child was the hardest part. God was in that phone call. The precise timing told me so!

When Lydia woke up she greeted me with a smile and began to tell me that she was taking a bath! She must have many dreams. At least twice a week she will wake up and begin telling me a story of where she was or what she was doing. Taking a bath is a sure fire way to make her happy. So, thank you Lord for the angels while she was under!

Amazingly, by 10:30 that very morning our Doctor called with the results of the MRI!!

I just had to share some of the details of God in and through my mom trial!

May you look for and find His hand in your life today!
