Surgery #1...Jason

Today was Jason's surgery day.  I had no worries about his surgery until he mentioned last night that he didn't feel good about it.  That started my mind racing.  Not a good thing and not what God would have wanted either one of us to do.  I started praying, Jason prayed and I for one felt a little calmer.  He was still a little nervous, but I think any time you're about to have a surgery you feel nervous.  We had to be at the surgery center at 6:00...way too early!  We made it and Jason was prepped and ready for surgery at 7:30.  It was probably about 8:20 when the nurse came out and told me that they were able to retrieve some sperm and were actually looking for more to freeze!  Talk about an answered prayer!  Of course we don't know exactly how many they were able to get or if any will be able to be frozen until they get them back to the lab to examine, but we serve an AMAZING God who once again did more that we could ask or imagine.  From Jason's previous appointment with this doctor he didn't think any would be able to be frozen or that it would be a good idea.  I love how God does things like this for his children.  And how great too that all of this took place on Good Friday...the day that Jesus paid our debt for us, was beaten and crucified just so we could have eternal life with him!

I also had to visit the doctor today for another ultrasound and blood work.  Everything looked great and egg retrieval is set for Sunday at 9:00.  I got my last shot (trigger shot) at 10:00pm and I'm thankful I won't be getting a shot tomorrow.  :)

Thank you Lord for answering our prayer and showing us just how much you love us.  Most importantly thank you for dying for my sins so that one day we will live with you in eternity!
