Ironic

I have a horrible nasty cold.  For those of you who know about Krysta's surgery, you're probably seeing the irony.  I haven't gone to other people's houses for 2 weeks now, trying to keep her healthy for her surgery.  I've told certain other people to let me know before I see them if they are sick so that she won't catch anything.  And then Sunday, I got sick.  So I'm washing my hands,using hand sanitizer, and basically trying to disinfect everything I touch trying to keep her healthy.  The surgeon told us that if she has a cold, a UTI, or anything else, they will not perform the surgery. 
So I'm doing the only thing I can do, after all.  I'm leaving it up to the Lord.  He is over all and if it would be better for her to not have her surgery on Monday, then so be it.  I'm trying to work out my peace with this, while at the same time, really hoping that she doesn't get sick and we can go ahead with this surgery. 

Speaking of ironies..about a week and a half ago, Emalyn came home with a letter from school saying that she'd scored low on the reading testing they did and asking for permission to enroll her in an after-school reading program.  I thought this was strange, because I felt she was a great reader.  So Scott and I decided against enrolling her in the program.  I spent the next few days really listening to her read to see if there really was a problem, but again felt that she was doing fine.  A few days later, she came home with another note.  I was sure it was going to be a letter asking us why we hadn't enrolled her in the after-school program, etc.  But to my surprise, it said that she'd recently scored really well on the reading testing and asking for our permission to enroll her in an Enriched reading program for the gifted and talented.  Now THAT one I agreed with and signed the letter.  I still have yet to hear how this all happened.  Maybe she really jumped ahead in those four days? ha ha.
