Introduction
Thank you for your prayers and messages during this difficult moment for our family. We are deeply grateful for the love, support, and encouragement that has surrounded us over the past days. After spending several hours at the hospital this morning preparing for Indiana’s surgery, we were hopeful and focused on the next step. However, just as everything was in place and we were ready to proceed, the surgeon was called away to handle an emergency case that required immediate attention. As a result, Indiana’s surgery has been postponed until early tomorrow morning.
While this change brings a wave of disappointment and anxiety, we trust the timing and care of the medical team looking after her. We continue to hold onto hope, knowing she is in the best possible hands and that every decision is made with her safety as the top priority. We want to sincerely thank every person who has reached out with prayers, messages, and kind thoughts—your support means more than words can fully express. We will update everyone again as soon as we have new information from the doctors or after the surgery is completed.
This journey is not easy, and moments like these test both strength and patience, but we are holding on tightly to faith and hope for a positive outcome for Indiana. We are also incredibly grateful to the medical staff, nurses, and specialists who have shown such compassion, professionalism, and care throughout every step of this process. In moments of uncertainty, their dedication has given us comfort and reassurance that Indiana is receiving the very best treatment available.
Although plans changed unexpectedly today, we are choosing to see this pause as an opportunity for the medical team to ensure everything is perfectly aligned for a successful surgery. We ask for continued prayers as we move into the night, preparing our hearts for tomorrow’s procedure with hope, courage, and trust. Please continue to keep Indiana in your thoughts as she rests, and may tomorrow bring strength, healing, and a smooth path forward. We also want to acknowledge the emotional weight of waiting, as any delay in a child’s surgery can feel overwhelming for parents and loved ones.
In these moments, we lean on faith, community, and the kindness of those who stand with us from near and far. Even though the schedule has shifted, our confidence in the surgical team remains strong, and we know they are doing everything possible for the best outcome. We are trying to stay calm and grounded, focusing on each moment rather than the uncertainty ahead. Thank you again for standing with us, for believing with us, and for lifting Indiana up in your prayers when she needs it most. We feel the strength of that support deeply, even from afar, and it gives us courage to face what comes next.
We will rest tonight with hope in our hearts, trusting that tomorrow will bring clarity, peace, and a successful surgery for Indiana. We will share another update as soon as possible after the procedure, and we remain thankful for every message, every prayer, and every moment of care that has carried us through this day. We hold hope for a safe surgery and a peaceful recovery ahead. Thank you for standing with our family today. Always.
