More Than We Can Handle

Dear Prayer Warriors

Anna's hearing really is an intact gift from God. The test today shows what marvelous hearing she has, she was responsive to the whole spectrum of sounds. I could not imagine how much harder things would be if her hearing was damaged. I thank God for upholding Anna's hearing ensuring that she can listen and communicate well through that sense. It makes me want to be a chatty-Cathy around her. 

We can pray more specifically for Anna's full healing as we take in the weight of her new diagnosis. She has a unique brain.  This is a hefty burden that is why I'm asking brothers and sisters in Christ to come to our aid and pray, believing God for exceedingly more than what we ask for. 

Our neurologist diagnosed Anna with polymicrogyria. Which is a condition almost always unrelated to brain injury due to lack of oxygen. There are several categories of this diagnosis. Based on the radiologists notes and the brain regions impacted, Anna is showing  Bilateral frontoparietal polymicrogyria. This has yet to be confirmed by our neurologist, we just don't know right now. Clearly this is more than what we can handle on our own, what does all this mean? That is why we ask God to handle this for us, with us, that we might see His Mighty Hand Shepherding us. Show us your glory Lord. 

Since we are up late swimming in the information about it. Please pray that we would let the Lord minister to us as we surrender to our mistake-free God and take Anna as is! We have been praying and singing most the afternoon and evening. We will follow up once we get the genetic testing back and have a better grasp on this. God is so good. God is so good, God is so good, He's so good to me.  alleluia. 

Have Thine own way Lord.
