From the day the China Center for Adoption Affairs first made aware of our son Jackson's existence, we knew that a few surgeries would be in his future. That did not deter us - he was our son, and we loved him. Jackson was born with a severe cleft lip and palate. Jackson's lip was successfully repaired in China before he came home to us, but his palate was not. The cleft palate keeps Jackson from being able to drink from a straw or talk where people can understand him.
So his first cleft palate surgery is scheduled for tomorrow morning. We are holding near to our heart Phillippians 4:6 "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God." We are praying for Jackson's physicians' hands to be guided by God, for the surgery to be a complete success, for Jackson's pain to be minimal, and for a speedy recovery. Not too much, eh?
If you would be so kind, please pray the same for our sweet boy Jackson. Thank you, and God Bless!
