Genevieve had her fusion end of August time and the operation was a success...she looks so straight now its incredible! However the road to recovery is ever a rocky one and Geeves is currently back in hospital with something called a caphotic junction(sp?) which bascially means the top of her spine which isn't fused (this is very little of it lol) is bending away from the rods and recently this became infected and eventually broke the skin. They are operating tomorrow to clean the wound and trim the rods abit to try and prevent this happening again. Mr Gibson the consultant reckons though that the bacteria infecting the wound are actually in the rods themselves meaning that this infection is likely to flare up on a regular basis! This apparently could mean regular hospital stays over the next two years.
I'm struggling with my faith over this, clinging to the knowledge in Jeremiah 29:11
" For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
But God if your so great why does this happen! It feels like your ignoring me, Lord in my darkest hour I pray be with me. May you draw near to me in my pain as I struggle to comprehend what is happening.
Yours in randomness!

"But God if your so great why does this happen!"
I've thought about this quite a bit, here's what I concluded: God gave people great minds, to develop incredible things, but we also have the resposibility to 'do it right', if we screw up building a bridge, and the bridge collapses and people die, is it the fault of God? If people have the ability to communicate quickly, on a world-wide scale, and people understand that an earthquake will cause a tsunami, is it God's fault that Asians didn't know a tsunami was coming?
In your case, I obviously don't know the root cause of the problem, but I bet medical researchers, or technitions, or somebody, could apply themselves to the problem and prevent this from happening again... I don't know...
I'm very sorry to hear about Genevieve, I hadn't realised she was back in the hospital. If you need to talk or pray at any time we're all here for you. I don't always understand why things happen the way they do, why sometimes when we pray for someone to get healed nothing happens and other times something does...all I know is that God is above it all and has a plan even if we can't see what it is in the long run and get frustrated with the pain we have to go through along the way. Just like that verse you quoted " I know the plans I have for you...plans to give you a future and a hope"
I'm standing with you and Genevieve in faith believing that God's plan is amazing and that there's hope in this situation!
Love Jenny*
