Angels among us

Hey it's Christy sitting here in the waiting room waiting for my angelface to be done with this nasty tumor. We have just gotten an update on him and he is doing fine. they did not start really until about 11:45. I spoke with the neuro-resident and he said that they had a little trouble putting in the arterial line so it took a little longer to place this line so they could start. We have received 2 updates since then and he is doing well.
Thank you for all the prayers. They are surely sustaining us. Continue to lift us up! As David and I were with Hayden in pre-op he was pretty upset, strong but upset. As we were answering questions for Anesthesia he kept trying to get my attention, I bent down to listen and he said Moma is it gonna hurt? You see yesterday I was talking with him about things because My heart as a mother is breaking. I wanted to make sure he understood that putting him through this that we loved him. I have felt so helpless at times trying to protect him and hope that he felt only love and security. We only want to make him feel better! I got my confirmation Hayden knows exactly what's happening. I did pretty good keeping it together, I know that's God carrying us. That same nurse who was there in pre-op has checked on us periodically. She just brought a ballon with angels on it with a verse that reads "For he shall give his angels charge over you to keep you in all your ways" Psalm 91:11 She also saw the Anesthesiologist out in the hall and he said things were going really well!! Thank you Jesus! Thank you for sending your angels!
I hope I have made some sense with this update, I'm pretty tired.

I am thinking of your family daily. I too am praying that God sees Hayden and all of you through this.

As I mom, I see where you are coming from to ensure that Hayden realized this pain is out of love. We want to bubble our children and keep them out of harm's way. Unfortunately, it can't always be helped.

Having God in your corner is a blessing!

Love and well wishes to all of you!

All of the Stokes family have been praying for Hayden and your whole family. All you need remember, is that God is in control, and that He can take care of these things a lot better than we can. We just have to put our trust in Him. He will do what is best....

Thank You Jesus for all you have done!!God has put angels all around each of you and like I said earlier, He is holding Hayden in his arms. Praise God for the nurse that gave you information and brought the balloon. Wow! does God have ways of bring his word to us. That was from him to let you know He was there with Hayden and all of you. I talked to Your Dad this afternoon for a little bit, but Jeremy beeped in and so I'm just waiting. But I know that God is going to do great thing through Hayden and all of the pain he has had to endure. God never lets a hurt not go unused.I am still praying and I Love YOU ALL!!

Thanks so much for the update. Sounds good so far. Looks like He has sent His angels to see you through this. Praise Him!!! We have had you and Hayden on our minds and in our prayers all day.
Rebecca came home this evening and said that she and her caregiver at Impact Center, Nita, said a prayer for Hayden at 8:30AM and read passages in the Bible for all of you. Speaking of angels, that is Rebecca. She is truly pure in spirit and she is directing all of that spirit to Hayden.
May God continue to guide the doctors and hold all of you in his mighty hands.
We love you!!
Ken, Cathy, and Rebecca
