Little change in plans

Instead of heading to Dallas on Tuesday, we are heading out today, we will be leaving shortly. Ella is still scheduled to have her cath this Wednesday the 27th. We are supposed to possibly have some bad weather in Oklahoma and just didn't want to risk missing her surgery due to bad travel conditions.

We will be staying in the Ronald McDonald House. It was truly a blessing that we got in, they told us they are very full and had no room for us. They told us the waiting list was 10 families hoping to get in tomorrow, and 8 families hoping to get in Tuesday! Then they told us they had their housekeeper call in sick, so we couldn't stay there. Jon talked to them and explained the importance of us having a healthy housekeeper due to Ella's heart and offered to clean our own room (we would clean it when we get there anyway.) they discussed it and when we talked to them again, they told us one of their volunteers had said they would prepare a room for us!! We are so thankful!

Please be praying for safety as we drive, safety from the germs that will be ALL around us, peace and wisdom for us as well!

Ella will be facing her 7th heart surgery this Wednesday, we can't put into words how hard this is, but we find strength in knowing who holds the future! Thank you all!
