It's coming together

It's all coming together and we really do appreciate all your prayers.

The flight did not work out with Corporate Angel Network, but the Lord provided reasonably priced flights for us with AirTran. The good side to that is that we will take Josh with us - who will be a great help in taking care of the kids while there - and we get to fly through Atlanta with a 3.5 hour layover. Our good friend, Dr. Mary, will come to the airport and meet us for lunch. What a blessing!

Our room is confirmed at the Ronald McDonald House for the week leading up to surgery and they are considering giving us a second room for the night that everyone comes into town. If not, we'll just have to "pile in." James only has appointments on Wednesday and Thursday, so we are hoping that Iryna, a friend who lives near NY, will get to come in on Friday and help us go sightseeing. We really want to see the Statue of Liberty.

When James is discharged, we are heading to the Philadelphia area for a week - until he needs to be back in NY for a follow up appointment with Dr. Wisoff. Going to Philadelphia was cheaper than staying in New York and we have plans to visit with Dr. Swisher as well as James 1st grade teacher, Mrs. Ferguson, who moved out there.

Please continue to pray for the surgery.
