We have officially met with a pediatric cardiology surgeon and have scheduled a PDA closure procedure for Knox on Oct 11 at 7 am.
To be honest, this has been a long journey of learning to lean on God in circumstances that we cannot control and we feel complete peace about how we have walked these steps out. But we are so ready for it to be behind us. I'm still not entirely sure why these are our circumstances, and we never will know for certain. But what I do know is that God has grown us and prepared us in ways that we're not even aware of yet. This extensive season of praying for healing has caused us to truly search and affirm our beliefs on healing and God's sovereignty. We have had to practice what we preach by trusting God no matter the outcome, and we've had to wrestle with ourselves when things don't go the way we want or believe they should go. I read this week that there are two types of storms: correcting and perfecting. This storm undoubtedly has been perfecting our faith by forcing us to not only live what we believe on the outside, but to also face and deal with doubts and disappointments on the inside, that we wouldn't have otherwise known were even there. Even though Knox has not been miraculously healed, we know that God absolutely is still able! We are just learning first-hand that sometimes God does not desire to spare us from the storm, but rather to walk through it with us. We have sought God's Will through every step of this journey and are confident that the procedure is the next door God desires for us to walk through. But with that being said, if God wants to perform a miracle in the last minute, we are absolutely welcome to that! Please join us in continuing to pray that God chooses to miraculously heal Knox, but if not, please pray that God is present in the procedure room and uses the doctor's talent and ability to showcase His glory in that way! Because honestly, the fact that doctors can detect and correct the issue in the first place is a miracle in itself and is only possible because of God! Thank you all for walking and praying through this season with us... we are so thankful for every call, email, comment, and prayer! This would not have been as peaceful a journey without you and we have been overwhelmed with your love, concern, and support! God Bless, Percy and Marin Hudson
