One night down....and a big day to come!

Good morning! It is a little after 6:00 here so I thought I would let you know how Momma is doing.

They have been able to keep her relatively comfortable and around 4:30, she started being able to sleep a little (up to 10 minutes here and there...doesn't sound like much but I promise, that is a long span for her right now). Til that point, she would doze out, wake up, thinking it was morning, and it had been less than a minute. She was VERY thirsty from one of the meds so she has kept her awake also, needing constant sips of water.

God has been so merciful to her with the pain. It is most definitely there, but is still bearable so far. The anesthesia should wear on out of her system today making her more aware of what is going on and being felt. She is strong in spirit and keeps saying she has to get better so she can go home. Please pray for her today as they want to get her up and moving. Not sure how that is going to go as she is not even steady sitting but we will just wait and see.

Daddy and Joy should be back over here around 8 or 9 so please continue to pray for them. Daddy and Momma are so sweet as they both want to take care of each other, but there is not a thing the one can do for the other. Pray that they would both sense God's amazing grace.

Thank you is not enough but please know we are more grateful than we can ever express for all the prayers on Momma's behalf. God has heard...and has answered.

Continue fighting on your knees in this battle with us! Today is going to be a BIG one!

May He restore our souls in the valley,

B

Spanish translation of the Blog following:

Termino la noche…esperamos un gran día por delante.

Buenos días. Ya pasaron las 6:00 de la mañana aquí, me gustaría compartirles un poco sobre la condición de mama.

Han podido mantenerla relativamente cómoda y como a las 4:30 de la mañana, comenzó a dormir un poquito (10 minutos a la vez…no parece mucho pero esto es mucho para ella en su condición) hasta ese punto, se quedaba dormida y de repente despertaba pensando que ya había llegado la mañana pero únicamente habían pasado 10 minutos. Por causa de una medicina ha tenido mucha sed cual también le ha causado que permanezca despierta tomando pequeños tragos de agua.

Dios ha sido muy misericordioso con ella en cuanto a su dolor. Es obvio que está pasando por dolor, pero lo puede soportar. Los efectos de la anestesia están por pasar y el dolor aumentara y lo sentirá mas fuerte. Su espíritu es fuerte y continua diciendo que necesita mejorar para poder regresar a casa. Por favor oren por ella en este día ya que quieren levantarla y comenzar a movilizarla. No sabemos los resultados de esta decisión ya que aun le cuesta estar reclinada, pero veremos que pasa.

Papa y Joy llegaran al hospital entre las 8 y 9, oren por favor por ellos. Es lindo ver el deseo de Papa y Mama de cuidarse el uno al otro, pero en este momento no hay nada que ninguno pueda hacer por el otro. Oren para que los dos experimenten la gracia de Dios.

Estoy consciente que decir gracias no es suficiente pero sepan que estamos muy agradecidos y no hay palabras para expresar nuestro agradecimiento por todas sus oraciones de parte de Mama. Dios nos ha escuchado…y ha contestado.

Continúen orando por nosotros en este día de batalla. ¡Hoy será un día DETERMINANTE!

Que Dios restaure nuestras almas al pasar por el valle.

Barbara

  4. Praise God for His grace! It is obviously pouring in as the prayers go up! Carl & I had lunch together today, & we both had Big Mac's & prayed for Mrs. Georgie over them. There's no telling what prayers over 2 Big Mac's will accomplish! God Bless y'all!
