as of right now, little Paige,
Christopher's beautiful baby sister
who isn't little in character or courage
is having back surgery for scoliosis,

taking her s-shaped back and reconstructing it
with the use of metal rods
she was diagnosed a couple of years ago
and went through trials of different back braces
that were uncomfortable and limiting without feat
so the doctor's have decided that this is the best thing for Paige
the surgery is 4 hours long, and
she will be in ICU for 4-5 days
with months of rehabilitation to come

Paige, has a beautiful quiet soul
with more strength than most I know
a boldness to overcome obstacles
without even a hint of complaint departing her lips

this is something she has wanted for over a year
and has been a long time coming
and, we believe the goodness of the Lord,
that His hand is in this, not leaving us alone in the dark
that His light is guiding us to places of healing and
of refuge for the road ahead

so if you think of her
please say a little prayer
for a quick healing without complications or infection
and that her heart, mind, and body
would be abundant in strength
and that the peace that surpasses all understanding
would consume us all

we love you Paige and are in continuous prayer for you

love,
m
