prayers please

Please pray for my Mother. She had her carotid arteries cleaned out last August. We thought she was recovering well however a follow up visit showed signs of more plaque building up. This is an extremely rare occurrence but tests have confirmed that she will need the same surgery repeated. Please pray that this second surgery is success and also that after this time the arteries will not fill back up. This is a terrible surgery to recover from in the first place let alone twice in ten months.
Also if I may, I would like to ask for prayer for Michael's second leg surgery. The first is healing well though at the last visit the doctor informed us that a second surgery on that foot will probably be needed as he grows. For right now though we are looking at having the right foot done at the end of August. Michael did wonderful ( considering) with the last foot so please pray that this one goes as well if not better.
Lastly, Robby was seen by Michael's surgeon on our last visit (Tuesday) and as we suspected, he has the same deformity that Michael has, just not as advanced. The doctor recommended that we try orthotics for two months and see if we get any improvement. If not he will have to have both feet done also.
As you can see when it rains it pours but it is nothing that God can't handle for me !
