"Brace for a Fall"
Today, because of her fall, the doctor fitted Meghan for a brace to make sure her back doesn't twist. This will make things much easier for her when she travels to the United States. As the doctor was fitting the brace on her, he asked for my help. Since I know so much Spanish it was easy...LOL. He explained the whole process and he explained that the brace needs to always be tight around her sides. He said that sometimes it will loosen a bit because of her moving, but just tighten it a bit to make sure the sides of the brace "hug" Meghan's sides. (Ok, I had an interpreter...) Anyway, I was driving home and knew that God was speaking to me through that brace.
I began to realize that Jesus has been holding her together this whole time making sure that one fragment of bone didn't go into her spinal cord. Jesus has "hugged" her sides tight to make sure she would be alright. But isn't that what He is? A Brace for a Fall? In Genesis 3, we read about the "Fall" of Man. The only answer to that "Fall" is Jesus becoming our brace through His death on the cross.
We did a lot of waiting today. Meghan's records have now been sent to two other Shriner's hospitals as the one in Tampa is not a Spinal Center. We could possibly be going to Philadelphia or Chicago. We really don't know, but we do know that God is leading all of this and He is in control. We also know that we definitely will be going to the States to have this surgery done. Even one of the Guatemalan doctors said to us that if it were his daughter, he'd get her to the States. Good enough for us... So not really much to update other than God continues to show His grace and love to us through so many of you. We thank the so many people around the world that are supporting us through this process. I pray that each of you will see the glory of God magnified through the good times, bad times, good news, bad news. We love you all!
