On Call…

The surgeon’s nurse just called from the hospital. An emergency patient has been added to the schedule tomorrow. They asked us if we would be willing to be “on call”. Meaning if the emergency case takes a ton of time they will cancel. If not, they will do Ramona’s procedure, but probably later in the day.
Although this is not ideal, I’m trying to just roll with it. We’re used to being that other family, the one with the very, very sick kid who needs intervention right away. I’m glad to be on the other side of the changing schedules even if it is a bit inconvenient. Plus, we only live 30 minutes from the hospital so aside from Ramona getting really mad that we won’t feed her, I think it should be okay.
They should give us a call by 9:00am to let us know what the plan is. We’re really hoping they can fit her in. We’re all set with childcare and have our game face on. But we’re flexible, trying to believe in God’s perfect timing.
And besides, now I get to post another picture! Here’s Simon at the park (also a phone shot).
He is so stinkin’ cute – God bless him. We’ll be in prayer for Ramona Mae. May we be patient and grace-filled tomorrow.
Love to the clan,
Jackie
Praying it up over here. I got a bunch of the crew down here in Nashville praying for you all as well. Love you all
Jen
Ain’t that always the case! Game face on and the game gets rain delayed. Good positive thinking – being the other family for a change. The Popes are thinking of and praying for you guys!

I’ll be praying for all of you. I hope the surgery goes as planned and Ramona doesn’t have to wait too long. If it does get scheduled later in the day, don’t forget to ask if you can give her something clear to drink/eat (jello).
Thanks for the update Jane. Will be praying and please call tomorrow if you need anything.
Love, Val
Haven’t posted in a long time because I usually just don’t have the words. However, please know that I check for updates regularly and continue you to lift all of you up in prayer. May you experience The Peace that Passes All Understanding tonight and tomorrow and feel the Father’s arms wrapped so tightly around you. Ramona is such an amazing gift from God, and both of your children are beautiful!
Love, April J.
The waiting game is hard. Keeping our fingers crossed that you guys can just get it over with as scheduled….otherwise that miserable and exhausting game of waiting and wondering will go on.
What a little monkey that adorable Simon is. Over here we’re praying, praying, praying. Hope today is good.
Waiting is the hardest part of it all, so I’m hoping this is Ramona’s day for a cath! If not, well, trust that there’s a reason for it and that another day is her day.
Hang in there. Praying for you guys…
Thanks for helping us know how to pray, Jane!
I hope all goes well and soon so your baby won’t eat you! Simon looks like the monkey on his shirt…sooo cute
