Kites

Okay so I admit it... this isn't as easy to keep up with as I thought it was going to be. Time just gets away from me and before I realize it we're half way through our 6 week stay and I realize I haven't posted in more than a week! So here we are sitting at Holden Beach, NC for a week of sun and sand and waves and kites and a family gathering that is the glue in our lives. Nawroz has never been to the beach, or seen the ocean or the dunes of sand that lay between Serenity's Star, our home for the week and the vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean. The pure joy and wonder at every turn and at every site is his gift to all of us. This annual week at the beach is truly soul food and rejuvinates the spirits of all of us. And it's will be the perfect preparation for the surgery that will happen on Friday July 24 at 8:00 in the morning. Our visit with Dr. Bertsch was exactly what we've been praying for, and although she had yet to see the actual CT results or report (not sure why I actually expected those to be in her hands before the appointment) she is certain that the Lipoma can be easily removed. She will make an incision along the base of the mass and remove it, then reduce the excess tissue when she is finished, and everything should be hidden by his natural hair line. He is giddy with anticipation and his face lit up with such excitment when the translator told him that the surgery would be done. We are grateful to the hospital and Dr. Bertsch who will so generously give this life changing gift to the little boy who has changed our lives forever.

Peace,
