Life is certainly full of vagaries. I just received this from my aunt and uncle.

Update May 7 - postponed surgery

Dear family and Friends of Caroline,

Boy, things were looking great this afternoon. M had taken Carrie to have a physical before the operation planned for tomorrow morning. They weren't gone for long and returned with good news of no problems to prevent the scheduled replacement of the skull piece in her head that was removed the day of the accident to allow her brain to swell. This evening M took her temperature and it was elevated and her heart rate was about 130. She advised the doctors of this condition and the operation was put off until a later date. We have no date scheduled at this time.

We don't know what difference having her skull in one piece will have on her recovery but we would all like to see it accomplished so we have a whole little girl.

We ask you for your continued prayers for Carrie and her family. M and D have been a tower of strength throughout this ordeal and they need your prayers also.

Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble.

Thank you so much for the updates. Carrie remains in my prayers and thoughts. I know it is a disappointment about the surgery as the family must be anxious to see her as she once was, but she is obviously in good and careful hands.

Oh, my...I am sorry to hear that there will be a delay. I know that they had to go through a lot just to get to this point..the physical and all.

Bless her heart, Carrie is a fighter...and she will make it, but I think God is going to need to provide much patience and comfort to those around her. I suppose He knows the “right” time for all things.

Thanks for the update, Gretchen...prayer continuing for you, as well, my friend.

Thanks for the update Gretchen. There is a passage of scripture that has been my strong stay in the past several years of trials. “The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.Psalms 37:23 I believe that our steps are custom ordered, that each step we take , our loving and all knowing Savior goes before us. We must praise God for each step in Carries' life, as I am sure you are. Polly

Sorry to hear of this setback, Gretchen.
I’m praying in the name of Jesus that Carrie’s temp will go down so she can have her surgery soon.
