Hand surgery scheduled for December 12th

Just wanted to let you know that Janet's hand surgery with Dr. Solomon is scheduled for December 12th.  Please be praying for Janet as she faces this.  We all take so much for granted with our health and our ability to function.  We get a papercut or a headache and we complain.  At least, I know I do.  We don't realize how much we use our hands and our fingers until something like a papercut calls attention to it.  Janet losing several tips of her fingers on her left hand is a really tough challenge she has to face.  She is facing it with grace and strength, but just keep her in your thoughts and prayers as she works through finding a new normal.  Even just the waiting to get this surgery behind her could be really tough as it is one more hard step looming ahead of her before she can get down to the business of healing.  Janet is our miracle and we are so grateful for her.  I know that many of us would lose a finger tip with her if we could, just so that she didn't have to do this alone.

Thank you to so many of you who are helping out with meals and cleaning and shopping.  It's crazy to realize that Thanksgiving is next week. We have help set up through the first full week of December.  Please contact me if you are willing to provide some help through the rest of December and/or anytime in January.  We want to continue to provide support for the Dickens while Janet is recovering from her hand surgery.  Just email me at praying4janet@gmail.com with whatever help you are willing and able to provide.  Thanks so much!  

I hope each of you has a wonderful Thanksgiving and that we all hold on to our loved ones a little tighter this year, remembering to be grateful for the moments that we have.
