First off, thank you all for praying for us so much during this time in our lives. We firmly believe God has a purpose for Anna Grace. She is a tough little cookie. She undergone ultrasounds, blood draws, and a few other tests that make even strong men cringe and she has done so well. Adam and I can feel God carrying us through this time in our lives.
We will be leaving on September 13th to drive to Cincinatti Childrens Hospital. On the 14th Anna Grace will under go an MRI. She will be sedated and possibly intubated because she is so small and young. This will be overwhelming for Adam and myself. The MRI will be done of her head and abdomen. In the recent weeks, an unltrasound found white spots on both of her kidneys. These spots are possible signs of another problem not linked to the Lymphangioma. A test was done of her renal function and her kidneys are functioning properly. Praise the LORD!
On the 15th, we will meet the surgical team to discuss possiblities. Please be in prayer for us as we will be given her diagnosis and plan. Again, we know God is in control.
Our specific prayer requests are:
That Anna Grace travel well. We will be driving and I am nursing her so this will call for frequent stops.
An easy sedation and fast MRI and recovery. She should not have to stay in the hospital after the MRI.
An easy diagnosis that can be fixed with as little surgery as possibly. Also that this can be done in Greenville instead of Cincinatti.
Most importantly pray for God's will to be done in her life and ours and that we may glorify Him. He chose us to be her parents and he knit Anna Grace together. No one knows how well her body work better than Him.
While we are gone we will be updating facebook and twitter. You can follow us on either. We plan to drive home on Wednesday. Thank you in advance for all the prayers you will be praying for us.

All 3 of you are in my prayers. God placed AG with you and Adam because He knew the 3 of you belonged together and you all would take care of each other. I love you all and will be here for you. Let me know what Randy & I can do to help.
I confess, I had stopped checking your blog. Thanks for the reminder on facebook.
Ditto everything Nena said and more..
Adam, Emily&Anna Grace, God has blessed You with such a beautiful family. Our prayers are with you as you travel to Cicinnatti. Just know that God is with you and I know you trust in Him always. He has watched over Anna Grace since she was born and I know He will continue to do so. Please know that prayers are going out for you all over Greenville, as well as other places. We are here if you ever need us and I mean that. We love you, Margaret & Joe Patterson.
I have so much respcet for you guys, when Anthony was just two months old, we had him circumsised. He had just reached the 10 pound mark, which meant he would have to be put to sleep for the procedure. This was devistating for me! You have so many questions about what the medicine will do to such a small baby's body! I was terrified, but that isn't even close to what you will, much less have already gone through. I am glad to see how positive you are being, and strong in your faith!
