Ice Storm January 2009



Does Sarah look warm?

Our House and back woods


Front of Andrea's


Our Pink - UK Fan



I wanted to get Sarah's blog updated before today, but time got away from me with the Internet problems, snow and ice storm. Our electric went off 8:30 pm Tuesday, January 27, and back on Friday, January 30 at 1 pm. Living in the city, we were never without electric longer than 24 hours before. A whole new experience for us. We were thankful to gave gas logs in the basement and running water. My brother-in-law gave us a propane camping stove Thursday. Andrea, my sister-in-law stayed with us since her home is total electric. She fixed manwhich for dinner and we had hot chocolate afterward. Friday morning Stephen fixed pancakes, eggs and bacon on the camp stove. The hot meals helped our moral, but getting the electric back really made our day! Some of our church family only got their electric back today and other are still out.
We were the most concerned because Sarah is having her cleft palate surgery Monday, February 2, 2009. The surgery date was made early December 2008, and if she is sick we will have to wait longer. Thankfully, we kept her warm and surgery is still on. We are to be at the UK Hospital at 8:45am. Ear tubes will be placed in her ears first, then the cleft plate surgery. We hope to be home with her by Friday. The doctor said to plan on a week, but hopefully sooner. Then two weeks liquid diet for her. Please keep Sarah in your prayers.

Sarah, we are praying for you that you will recover quickly without pain. We will pray for your parents to have peace while they wait on the surgery. Stay warm!!!

Vickie,

We will keep little Sarah in our prayers. We pray for a quick recovery with little pain. Also pray that she tolerates the liquid diet. Hang in there, mom and dad!

Hugs,
Robin
