Preparing for Surgery

We are making plans to have Jake's foot surgery. It is going to be performed by two groups of doctors. One group from the LEAP Foundation and another group from the Texas Scottish Rite Hospital. They each have certain specialties that may be necessary to successfully treat Jake's feet. The LEAP Foundation is a missionary doctor group treating mostly facial deformities. They are the primary doctors operating on his foot. Jake came over early on a medical visa for this very purpose. We are a little anxious. This will be our first child to have major surgery. He is a tough little guy but when he cries, he cries great big crocodile tears. It makes you want to grab him up in your arms and hug him and protect him. Please pray that the operation is successful and he has very little pain. Also, pray that he recovers quickly. We still have a little girl we are ready to meet in Russia. After Jake has recovered we will be heading to Russia to finalize the adoption of our two newest children.
