Month 3_Day 29 - Another Surgery Tomorrow

Isaiah 53  1(A) Who has believed what he has heard from us?[a]
   And to whom has(B) the arm of the LORD been revealed?
2For he grew up before him like a young plant,
   (C) and like a root out of dry ground;
(D) he had no form or majesty that we should look at him,
   and no beauty that we should desire him.


Isaiah 53 is a very appropriate scripture to meditate on leading up to Easter. Please join Anjie and I in this time of appreciation for what Jesus did for us. There is so much here so I plan to spend the week eating up these truths two verses at a time. Just to think of all of the prophesy in this passage which was fullfilled is amazing. He came in the simplest form as a fragile baby such as Levi. He did not belong here. He never had to come. He made a choice of submission to fullfill the law and provide a way for us to reconcile with the Father. How awesome a savior He is? With no special form He was not to be worshiped for his human appearance but for His unmatchable majesty as God of our universe. Thank you Jesus for your sacrifice that I may live.

Levi is going into surgery tomorrow morning and right now Anjie and I are at peace. We believe Levi needs this to live a fruitful life. He needs the pressure on his brain relieved so that he can better develop. The surgery involves peeling back his scalp. Then they will drill a small hole through his scull in which a valve will be inserted. After that tubing will run under his skin to his abdomen. This will divert the fluid which is not naturally flowing in his head. We all make CSF but ours drains constantly. Levi is more clogged up because of the bleed he had at birth. I say all of this not to gross you out but so you will see the magnatude. Please pray for Levi anytime you can tomorrow. The surgery is scheduled for 930 am. I will try to provide an update sometime tomorrow. We both got to hold him today and we will be there early to see him off. Its not going to be an easy day.
