We are not promised tomorrow

The surgery Rebecca will have is a spinal fusion and rods. Basically they will put rods on either side if her spine and they are screwed into her spine. (I will not post pictures as this may be disturbing for some people to see but you can google if you're curious) once the rods are in place they will fuse the spine to be straight. The doctor is hopeful that he will only have to fuse the top curve but he may need to fuse the bottom curve too. He won't know until she has her ct scan in a few weeks. This will greatly reduce her flexibility if he needs to fuse both. Her surgery is schedule for July 16th at All Children's hospital in st Pete.

As you can imagine, it's been a count down since the day we scheduled the surgery. Rebecca will have a very long recovery which could take over a year, so we are trying to do as many things as posible with her before July 16th. We are seizing the day! We are not promised tomorrow so we are focusing on today. Needless to say my house may be messy for a while and my laundry may get piled high because those are just not our priorities right now. 

One thing I also must make very clear on this matter, we do not have a spirit of fear. Rebecca has always belonged to God first and we know He loves her more than we could imagine. We have complete faith that God is in control and we know that no matter what curve ball life throws us, God's there to catch it.
