Well today Berhanu and I drove up to LA and met with Karen for his pre-op appointment. Everything went well.
We also met up with the film crew again and they got some good footage of Bernie riding his bike round the garden, it was so cute!!!! and also scary at the same time. Unknown to him by this time tomorrow he will be through the first stage of back surgery.
After we were finished with the crew we went to the zoo, where we spent the rest of the day.
Right now I am in Ronald McDonald House just beside the hospital as Bernie has to be at the hospital for 5.30am!!!!! He is fast asleep after speaking to Bethany for half an hour on the cell phone (don't ask me!!!! I do not know how someone who cannot speak a word of English can speak to someone who cannot speak a word of Amharic for half an hour!!!!!).
Please pray for wee Bernie that God keeps his wee body strong through this long operation, and that our GREAT physician leads Dr Skaggs hands. We thank the Lord for Dr Skaggs and his team. Pray for each person that enters that operating theatre tomorrow, that they will feel something different, and that something being the power of prayer.
Thanks once again, will keep you posted through out the day tomorrow.
I am hoping to attach a photograph of Bernie with his pumpkin that we carved tonight before he went to bed.

Hey caroline - you are a real professional when it comes to Blog Updates, pumpkin making and more importantly caring for little ones - God knew exactly what he was doing when he allowed you to look after Bernie during this difficult time. I too am unsure what Bernie and Bethany could have talked about for half an hour but she must know his love language !!!! Im so proud of you and your family so keep strong and remember to take deep breathes !!!!!!!!! love Helen xxxxxxx
