"Oh Snap"

I am updating to request prayer for Jack. He will be having surgery on his elbow tomorrow morning at 7:00. While we were visiting my mom, en route to Los Alamos, he fell off of a swing set and broke his elbow and needs to have surgery to reset the bone and then to have pins inserted. He has been a real trooper throughout the whole ordeal, including sitting in the emergency room without pain medication for nearly four hours. The break could have been a lot worse, and we were able to get into an orthopedic surgeon right away and he has a good prognosis for the future, all praises. We ask for prayer that he will recover well with out any complications and that he will be calm and cooperative while he goes under anesthesia. He has a great fear of needles and is very scared of doctors and hospitals, so he will be anxious until he is out. Juan and I are also anxious and worried for our little boy. My logical-side knows that things could be much, much worse and that I just need to trust God in this, He is the great physician and His will will be done. My mother-side is fearful and worried sick. It feels guilty and out of control. God's perfect love casts out all fear and I am leaning on that fact right now. I know that God loves Jack more than I do, He doesn't delight in the suffering of any of His children and I know that He is big enough for this, for my fears, for Jack's health, for our family.
Thank you for your prayers! I will update as soon as I am able to.
