Thorburn Family

2 days till surgery!  We have a storm here, there is no school for Ariel (the little girl staying w/us in foster care).  Our four children have been delivered to Betty Christy in NY.  The bad weather expected today changed our plans, so now instead of the children being here with Betty during surgery week, Rich took them out to NY yesterday.  How good it is to know they are in great hands!  Ariel goes to respite care tomorrow, and will come back to us when this is over.  She will probably be here until we receive our new son.  I am thankful for the quiet house and time to get a lot of things done.  A couple days ago, we met with another surgeon who will be assisting during Rich’s surgery, and he seemed to think it would be at least 6 weeks before Rich could resume his normal work.  We have planned everything based on four weeks because the other surgeon gave us that time frame, but God knew this and we know that He will continue to provide all the needs for both the Mick and Thorburn families as He is and has been doing all along!   Only time will tell how this will go, and I don’t think anyone can truly make good predictions.  I’ll post an update here after surgery.  I might even be able to figure out how to add a picture of the guys (don’t count on it.. my “tech support” is in NY :))  Love, Anna
