GODs plans are BEST....

how true is THAT?! why do i say this? well, today, we had an appt with the SURGEON for his VNS SURGERY....to be honest, i was starting to get these doubts about actually doing it....i don't know if i was going to back out or WHAT but i really wasn't feeling very confident about it anymore...when i got out of the hospital yestreday, there was a message on the phone saying that there was NO REFERAL and that we sould have to reschedule the appt.....i was FLOORED because we had been ANXIOUSLY waiting for this appt!!!! i dont' know if that was GODs way of telling us something!! soooo i started to make phonecalls and such and at the end of BUISNESS DAY i was not sure if were going to go or not...well, this morning, we got a phone call saying that it did NOT go thru and we sould have to reschedule for the 25th of oct....i was kinda emotional because matthew kept having these seizures...well, after a couple more phone calls we got it all covered and we were off for the appt!!! well, we were there with the surgeon and he said..he was going over his history and he asked me "does he have any heart RATE issues?!" of course i had to let him know about it DROPPING into the 30-50's and he said I AM NOT SURE WE SHOULD DO THE SURGERY!! why?! because the VNS LOWERS THE HEART RATE of a pt.....hmmmm....remember, matthews heart rate lowers into the 40's and 50's....when i told him that, he said, I REALLY DON'T THINK I WANT TO DO IT!!!!! it could KILL HIM if he has irregular arrythmias!! called BRADYCARDIO and he DOES!!! he said he would have to consult with the CARDIOLOGIST to see what he thought be he just didn't have a good feeling EITHER about it!!! i told him i was SOOOOOO HAPPY WE TALKED!!! and the reason for the CAPTION above is this....after getting home from the appt, i ran upstairs to read my HOPE FOR EACH DAY by gilly graham book that my buddy sandra had given me at the hospital and GUESS WHAT IT SAID?!?!?!

THINGS DON'T ALWAYS WORK OUT THE WAY WE PLAN. BUT IF WE COMMIT OUR WAY TO CHRIST AND WALK IN OBEDIENCE TO HIM, WE DISCOVER HIS PLANS ARE ALWAYS BETTER!

and that says it all!!!
