Update on Josiah

So, unfortunately, last time we went in to see Josiah's craniofacial surgeon, he checked him out, and said that he wants to do his surgery all over again... Apparently there is a 5-6% rate of children who have had the surgery that Josiah has had that have to have it repeated... And he falls into that 5-6%.
He will be going in for a CT scan next Tuesday, the 11th, so please be praying for him because they have to put him to sleep for it.
Also, please pray for wisdom when we talk to the doctor again, I have lots of questions and I really want to be asking the right ones... Also, for the right timing of when to do the surgery, since it's not really a medical urgency, it's more like we'll schedule it at our convenience; but we want Bobby to be able to take a few days off to help me in the hospital with Josiah and with Brayden and Selah too, and he just started a new job only about a month ago...
We've been through this surgery before, so I kind of know what to expect, but he's older now... So my prayer is that the pain won't be too bad, that the Lord would be his comfort and strength, even if he doesn't understand... And that the Lord would also comfort and give peace to our hearts as we have to watch our baby go through this all over again...
We know that God is sovereign, and we trust Him... His grace is sufficient for us, and His strength is made perfect in our weakness...
