Precious prayer

Tonight, Hayden asked if he could say the blessing on the food. Thomas said, "sure". As Hayden prayed, he prayed for the normal Hayden things.... then he said, "Heavenly Father, please bless that it will only take this one last surgery for my mom to be healed."

I about jumped out of my chair. I hadn't told Hayden. He didn't know that I was going in first thing in the morning to the surgeon's office to determine if the internal bleeding had now coagulated and needed to be surgically removed and the blood source stopped and surgically repaired. I looked at Thomas and then Suzi to see if either of them were as shocked as I was. They both stayed focused. I tried to eat dinner but couldn't get that sentence uttered by my son out of my mind. Who had told him? Did he know something I didn't? He definitely is closer to the Holy Ghost these days....

Later we asked him. He said, "I'm not sure mom. Didn't you tell me you needed another surgery?" I assured him I only found out a couple of hours previously that it was even a possibility. He said Suzi didn't tell him. I believed him. He smiled and said, "I don't know mom, maybe the Holy Ghost told me again. He also said that you would be fine so I didn't need to worry." He continued, "Have you been scared to tell me mom?" I confessed that I was a little nervous because I wasn't sure if it was going to happen but wanted him prepared in case it did.

My boy says, "Well, if it was the Holy Ghost and I am pretty sure it was, I would be prepared for surgery, it is probably going to happen on Wednesday or some time this week. Don't worry mom, he already assured me you will be fine. Don't worry about it!"

So, I am keeping my fingers crossed that my dear boy is right and there is no real risk and I will be better off after another surgery. I really am rooting for Hayden on this one.
