We mentioned Allie a few posts ago. She has had trouble keeping her food down since she was born in late summer. She has had trouble gaining and keeping on weight because of this and her bout with the flu she just had set her back a little. Since she's so small, she can't afford to loose any weight at all so her drs have decided to do a surgery on her that will prevent her from being able to spit up or throw up anymore, allowing her to keep her food down and grow bigger. They wanted to do this surgery a few months ago but her mom and dad wanted to give her a chance to make it on her own and she did ok until she got this flu.

Allie will be having her surgery early Monday morning. I know most of you will not read this until it's over but please pray for her and her mom and dad anyway. Pray that her recovery will go well and she can come home on Tuesday and pray that she will not get an infection. Pray also that she doesn't have bloating or gas build up in her belly, which is a side affect in some kids. Pray for her mom and dad to give all their fears to God and for them to have peace that they made the right decision for her. God has been watching out for her and her family and they have shown such great faith in Him. We know He will be right there with her tomorrow, guiding the surgeon's hands. Talk to you all later.
