Dr. Young is 3 wks out from surgery and walking 3 miles a day! He is doing remarkable and will be back soon! We can not begin to thank Kim, Liz, our entire staff and management team more for all they’ve done holding down the fort! They are incredible! We are so thankful for everything! The prayers, the high fives, the food, the conversations….all of it. From the bottom of our hearts!

The Lord is so incredible to go before us daily. Most we never fully realize, I’m sure. But when going through trials, they are amplified.
When Dr. Young arrived at the hospital in Dallas for his pre-op last week, he was met with a sweet nurse who called him back and then asked “Aren’t you a pediatrician?”. He nodded. She exclaimed “You were my Pediatrician!”. She recognized the name and the 806 area code and knew and asked for him to be her patient. She’s been gone from Amarillo for almost 20 years so she jostled his memory and then he knew. Meet Erika. Godwink somewhere in the 100s, maybe 1000’s!

Dr Young is doing awesome and progressing from surgery ahead of schedule! Our wonderful Ginny got to come by yesterday and see him so we thought we would share! He says thank you for EVERYTHING!

Dr. Young is doing awesome tonight after surgery! He has said for me to tell everyone thank you so much for all the prayers and thoughts about him today. He is happy to be on the other side of the surgery now and will be a model patient doing everything the nurses and doctors tell him to do! Many many thank yous.

God is Good!

The shirt that Dr. Young is wearing in this photo is very dear to him. It carries a meaning that dates back about 25 years to his father-in-law: “Attitude is Everything.” Today, he is wearing it just before going into surgery — a big surgery. He is having heart bypass surgery.

Some of you may have already heard about this, but we know this is new information for many of you. Please know that the Lord has gone before us in every single detail leading up to this day — every single detail. Everything from when he got a heart screen just because of family history only to have to continue testing and find out this surgery would be needed; or when we didn’t understand why something was or wasn’t happening a certain way, God knew. It has been amazing to watch unfold, even though it has also been scary for all of us. The Lord is not wringing His hands or worrying about any detail and He is giving us perfect peace that passes all understanding.

Please know that our wonderful Kim and Liz, along with an amazing staff and office management team, have been preparing for today and will be caring for all of Dr. Young’s patients while he is away for 4–6 weeks. Office hours and days will not change. Newborns will continue to be seen in the hospitals. We cannot imagine going through this without our team being here for you. Their support gives us incredible peace of mind. Please be patient with them as they work through these first few days. They, too, are concerned about and deeply love Dr. Young.

Please pray for the awesome surgeon and incredible team of nurses, techs, and everyone involved in this surgery. It has ALL been orchestrated by the Lord! The God winks have been everywhere. Pray for wisdom, clarity and steadiness. They know how special he is to us!

Please pray that Dr. Young will have no complications, excellent pain control, and a very quick recovery so he can be up and moving soon. He has his family by his side, as you can see, and he will be WELL taken care of. We are so thankful to walk this road together as a family and with the Lord.

We will keep everyone updated, and we covet your prayers, thoughts, and well wishes.

Psalm 121 says, “From where does my help come? My help comes from the Lord.” Dr. Young and I (Dana) are usually up in the choir loft each Sunday morning, and the song we would have been singing next week is based on the text of Psalm 121. Instead, we are living it — the Lord’s perfect provision.
