Surgery and First Day of School

Hey Everyone

At 9:00AM September 3 I was in an operating room. Faces looking down on me as they found a vein to put the IV through. Within seconds I was asleep and a team of ENT surgeons went to work on my right ear. Removing a disease that covered my entire ear canal. They worked hard to rebuild my inner ear in order that I would be able to wear a hearing aid. The doctors said it was the Cadillac of all ear surgeries

For the first time in my life I will be able to hear out of my right ear with the help of a hearing aid. I'm already hearing some sounds that I haven't heard before from that ear and that's with the packing still in. Over the next month or so prayerfully my hearing will increase. What a time we live in.

The first day of school came. For Ben it's grade 8. His last year before High School. He has grown into a handsome young man and a wonderful teenager (OK OK I know I just spouted an oxymoron, wonderful and teenager). Ben is almost the same height as Geoff now and still growing.

For Brianna this should be a memorable year. Grade 12. Final year of high school and looking towards University. My first baby will be leaving in a year. Both Geoff and I are treasuring every moment we have with her. So is her brother. Brianna is leading the ISCF (InterSchool Christian Fellowship) this year at her school and is taking Drivers Ed to get her full license in a year. Don't worry we'll warn you when she does.

After 6 years, three pastorates and loads of studying Geoff has begun his last year of schooling. Mother's Day weekend Geoff will graduate with his Masters of Divinity. FINALLY!

What a year this will be. Lots of changes ahead and growing up to do. Please pray for us as we seek God's will for our family.

Have a great week everyone

PS Yes the count down is still on however because I'm still recovering from surgery rest is more important than counting. Once I've healed a bit more I'll send out another post with the current count down.
