Immeasurably more...

Ephesians 3:20-21 says "Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever! Amen."
Yesterday, God went above and beyond...
On Monday my sister Amanda and brother in law Noah met with Cadence's surgeon. They were told she would need either a valve repair or valve replacement. If the replacement was necessary, then Cadence would be required to be on a blood thinning medication called coumadin for the rest of her life. This would entail having her blood levels checked daily, and would also mean she would be more likely to bleed heavily when her knee is scraped on the playground, or when she gets a run-of-the-mill cut. Now, as inconvenient at that would be, in perspective that is a small price to pay for having Cadence here on earth with us!! But still, we spent yesterday praying that she would only require a repair.
Then the surgeon told them something that caught them off guard...he said that either way she would require a follow up surgery at the age of 5-6.
Well, it appears God had other plans.
Yesterday evening I received a text from my sister that said "Successfull surgery!" Have you ever seen two more beautiful words?! =-). When I tried to find out if Cadence had a valve repair (requiring a ring inserted around the valve) or a replacement (a mechanical valve), the short answer I received was "neither". It turns out what was causing Cadence's mitral valve regurgitation was a cleft leaflet, which required suturing. Done. Mitral regurg taken from severe to mild. Praise God!! But He wasn't quite finished yet...
This means there is only a 15% chance she will require heart surgery again.
Fifteen percent.
Think God is done yet? Nope =-).
Cadence has also had a small VSD (ventricular septal defect) that her cardiologist has been monitoring monthly. The surgeon yesterday thought since he was already in there, he would look at repairing that. Turns out that he expressed "frustration" (=-) ) because he wasn't able to find it, it had become so small. (sidebar- I told Amanda to please pass on our condolences for this! HA!)
Oh God is so, so good!!!
Sorry for such a loonnnggg post, but scripture says:
"But I have raised you up for this very purpose, that I might show you my power and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth." Exodus 9:16
"Sing praises to the Lord, enthroned in Zion; proclaim among the nations what He has done" Psalm 9:11
"I will not die, but live, and will proclaim what the Lord has done" Psalm 118:17
"Give thanks to the Lord, call on his name; make known among the nations what he has done, and proclaim that his name is exalted." Isaiah 12:4

So you see, I have a job to do!!!!!!!!! How does one proclaim to an entire nation the goodness of God? Is there a bullhorn loud enough?! Well, I will start with this public blog, with an email to our prayer chain, and with telling everyone I run into today...
Praise be to God! Great things He has done!!!!!!!!!
