The Big Day....That Wasn't

For anyone who did not hear, Brandon's surgery was postponed. We got there at 7:30 a.m., waited forever for his turn to come up. Then waited some more as he was prepped for the day surgery. After about 3 hours, we were waiting for Brandon to be wheeled away when the anaesthesiologist gave him the red light. According to the doc, Brandon's blood work was not within the normal range and he felt uncomfortable doing an "elective" surgery while Brandon was in that "condition." Brandon will get retested on Monday and either do the surgery on next Thursday, or see his regular doctor for more testing.

Brandon was disappointed, to put it mildly. He'd fasted, missed his class, prepared with his professors to be out for 2 days, arranged his schedule to be there early that morning and planned on recovery time and then Boom! - No surgery.

It took a while for Brandon to get over the initial shock, but I think we finally agreed that God's provisions are always perfect and while we can be disappointed, we must be thankful that God is in control of this situation, just like everything else. My mind keeps thinking that God may have been protecting Brandon against an unforeseen complication. You just never know and we have to trust that God knows best...
