Almost time for our 2nd implant!

Just 3 more days!  Brooke has been doing a count-down all week!  She is so excited to be getting a second cochlear implant......she had been asking for since her first implant was activated!  Seriously...the day the first implant was activated she wanted another one.
On Monday, September 23rd, we will travel to Chapel Hill, NC to have her pre-op appointments at the hospital.  We meet with the surgeon at 2pm and then have a few other stops in the hospital to get make.  We will find out the time of the surgery at this appointment too,
We have reservations at a hotel that night.  Once Scott is out of work, he will come to meet us at the hotel. 
The next day, we head to the hospital.
I am so thankful we have the option of getting a second implant!  God is so good!  I am so thankful that Brooke wants to get the implant!  She has no fear and completely understands that going through a surgery is the only way she will be able to hear out of that year....and she wants to hear! 
Please pray for:
The surgeon - that he is healthy and ready for surgery, that he has a steady hand, and that the surgery goes smoothly
The hospital staff - that they show favor to Brooke, that they treat her with special attention, that they are prepared and ready to assist.
Brooke - pray she continues to not fear, pray she is calm and peaceful, pray she recovers quickly from the anesthesia, pray for her comfort and healing.  Pray the device works!
Mom and Dad - pray for safe travels, pray for peace as we put our daughter into a surgeon's hands, pray that we can be a witness of God's love to the hospital staff.
