When surgeons are your friend

A sweet friend of mine is having surgery on Monday due to a breast cancer diagnosis. When you get right down to it, their hands are literally in the cookie jar. How much sleep did they get last night? Are they grouchy, flirting with the nurses, exactly sure of what will be their next move, thinking of some problems of their own.....? They are skilled, gifted, enlightened people. They go places and take risks with the confidence that their education, experience, steady hands, and last minute decisions will be successful. I have prayed for doctors before. I have prayed for surgeons before. I have had a surgeon place his face upon my breast holding both of my hands and pray to God that his hands would be guided by the one who created me. My daughter is thinking of being a pediatric surgeon. Please pray for a surgeon on August 27 and a lady named Patsy.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today. I always wonder how the surgeons are doing, too, and hope they are having a good day. Prayers for Patsy...

I saw Boston Terriers on your profile?

I'm so sorry that you and your friend have this problem.
Several of my husband's family have gone through this.
I'll be praying as she comes to mind over the weekend and beyond.
She's blessed to have a friend such as yourself.
