Praise be to God!!!!!!!!!!
When Japheth called with this news a measure of relief flooded through me.
Surgery went fine . . . Wayne has to wear a patch over the eye for a while (not sure how long) but he keeps wanting to pick it off. His one hand is still taped down with IV’s . . . Japheth will be busy keeping both of his little hands off the bandage once that hand is released.
They are staying overnight at the hospital there . . . their room even has a balcony! The nursed brought a crib in for Wayne so Japheth is using the hospital bed. ;) He had the back propped up and was holding Wayne when he called. Wayne had just downed his second full bottle! Japheth hadn’t eaten anything either . . . so there were two hungry guys after everything was done!
Judi’s surgery went well also. They had to do two muscles in her eye, one for moving up and down and one for moving sideways. She was still recovering from being put out. I can’t wait to see the “new” looks on both of them!
I was reading Psalm 30 this morning . .
.”O Lord my God, I cried unto Thee, and Thou hast healed me.”
I praise the Lord for that healing . . . but even if things wouldn’t have or will not go as we desire them to, I will still bless the Lord . . . He doeth all things well. He giveth and He taketh away; blessed be his name. He is God. He is allowed the privilege to do as He will and I will always praise Him. He is My Creator, My Shepherd, My King, The Lover of my Soul, My Rock . . . God is good no matter what! He loves me no matter what, and I love and trust Him no matter what!
Thanks for praying with us!
Friday Bills and Japheth fly up to Chaing Mai to visit Deanial Yoder (Val’s oldest son) and Lee Hess (Bill’s oldest son) who have just gotten back from an adventuresome trip to Packistan, while they wait for the eyes to heal. Then they will come back to Bangkok and see the doctor again and make sure they don’t need an adjustment.
We’re getting anxious to see and feel them again. I miss the baby I used to have in my arms. I miss Japheth’s arms around me . . .
. . . But in God’s hands they are in good hands.

I've been keeping close tabs on your life since baby and hubby left. I'm so glad to hear everything went fine. Do you know when they will be heading home? I'm sure you are quite anxious. Mike is planning to go the leadership seminar in at Charity, but I'll be at Mom's so that will take away from the loneliness. It also will only be from Monday to Friday. Still praying that all goes well and they return safely to you. May Gods grace continue to see you through.
Praise the Lord!! I was going to call you, but checked here first. I fell asleep last night with my last thoughts being prayers for them.
PTL for giving man the ability to understand the knowledge needed to perform such surgeries!
Isn't it amazing what doctors can do nowadays? My husband is leaning towards becoming a general surgeon with his major, if the Lord allows him to get that far in his schooling.

I am working on the flights this weekend. It will be for one week - probably sometime between April 25 and May 12. The flights are expensive this year, so I am trying to make connections by using free air miles to Minneapolis, then connect to Bemidji. Our free air miles are with American Airlines. They do not fly to Bemidji. Using free air miles to Mineapolis reduces our cost from $450.00 to $227.00.
