Choices
Did you ever have a time when a choice isn't so clear? When the answer isn't black and white, when either choice will leave you in the same spot just a different path? Last week we were once again faced with this kind of choice. Neither choice was a bad choice or the wrong choice. Both will lead us to what we can only hope are answers. But one choice is sooner then the other choice. I was told to go with my gut, follow my heart, faith, Einny, meeny, mitty mo or experience all of those are great but in the end its not a choice being right or wrong.
Choices are hard when you need to choice between A, B, C or X, Y, Z but either way the outcome is the same. How do you honestly pick when you understand the outcome to be the same. We have been faced with this once before. When Tyler got sick and we knew that he needed a Gtube placed we were faced with having it done by a surgeon who knew what Tyler's insides looked like because of his first surgery or a surgeon who knew nothing about him. Plan A required us to have to stay in Washington longer then we had planned to be able to have the tube placed. Plan B had us move first and have the tube placed about a month latter then Plan A. At the time Tyler was some what stable. We chose plan B not that either plan was perfect not that either plan was bad or wrong, just that we felt plan B was slightly better for our needs at that point. Looking back on it now would I have done it differently? yes I would have! Why to be honest I really don't know that its one reason but many little ones. Yes Tyler was stable when we chose to take plan B. But we didn't know how long plan B would take and how things would go with a new surgeon, new ped and new GI dr. In the end plan A would have been better, or at least I think it would have been. But you see in the end both plans would have eneded with the same result the same answers. Neither plan was wrong or different really.
So in the end you pick a plan and go for it, pray its the right one. Hope that it works the way it should. Pray that God is leading you to the right plan even if the plans lead to the same answer.
