19.
Today is number 19 for this particular type of procedure. Her 20th surgery. Her 23rd time being under general anesthesia. We covet your prayers today as I would say we’re more anxious about this one than any of the other ones. We’ve been talking it through, discussing it in length, praying about it, explaining why we do it and all of that stuff, but we’re nervous. Number 18 started off fun. Remember how I surprised her with that overnight stay at the resort in Dallas? We were really trying to create something super positive around it, but it ended up being our hardest one to date. After we got home from the procedure, things took a turn and we ended up back in the hospital the entire next day. The complications came not from the actual vascular procedure but from her being intubated for anesthesia. So, even though it’s not likely to happen again, 18 left such a bad taste in our mouths that we need a few extra prayers today. Thank you so much for constantly and consistently loving on my family. There aren’t even words to express my gratitude. xo

Good morning, Shay. My mama heart goes out to you. I just prayed over Ashby’s procedure, and the Lord gently reminded me that “the battle is the Lord’s” (I Sam 17:47). I hope this encourages you today.
Sending lots of prayers for sweet Ashby ❤️
Holy Father,
You have soothed us, saying “do not worry about tomorrow”.
Thank you that you pour out your spirit upon each day.
Thank you that your grace is sufficient for us within each moment that we live.
So I pray for Ashby and her family that they would know your peace in their hearts.
A peace that surpasses all understanding.
A peace that guards their hearts and minds.
A peace that they receive from Christ himself.
Lord, as they undergo this surgery, come and be present, watching, waiting, moving to help and guard every moment during this procedure. May they be held in your loving arms and protected from all harm.
In Jesus name,
Amen.
