Praise God
I wanted to thank all of you who prayed for Kaley. She came through her brain surgery quite well. There was no sign of her tumor praise God. Her permanent shunt was removed and they were able to install an "adjustable" shunt. Kaley woke up for the first time in days without blurred vision or a headache. She is still in some pain from the surgery and the word is still out on her short-term memory but she seems to be in better spirits.
Sidenote - There might be some who would ask if we would be praising God if the results of the surgery had not been so good. Perhaps eventually but who wouldn't cry and lament when a child is in pain. For now, the answer from God seems to be "yes" so we're going to take that and as David did, "dance with all of our might before God."
Thanks again.

I can relate to your questions about when we offer praise to God. The Apostle Paul has helped me understand that struggle. He did not rejoice because of his suffering but he rejoiced "in it." There is a difference. I am thankful to God for your good news. I will praise God with you regardless. Thanks for your heart!
Definitely, PRAISE GOD for this answer to prayer! However, to raise the question of whether or not praise would be offered had the results been different does not assume that person would not cry and lament the pain of a child. Jordan has a good point that we rejoice "in" our suffering as well as through it. I'm just grateful this family can rejoice through it and the news is good news.
