The storming episodes continue to be a challenge though. The staff cut back on the medicines they use with Grace prior to the surgery, and have not returned to their previous regimin. Grace has been storming for much of the last 24 hours.
The hospital staff is being a bit difficult again. Recently, mom has had a difficult time getting real answers to simple questions. The staff had previously discussed with mom that they allow 5 days for a surgery like Grace's to heal before doing testing or anything that involves a lot of movement. Tonight, mom found out that one such test is scheduled for tomorrow, and the doctors weren't even sure if the results would be conclusive so soon after the operation.
Mom and Dad are planning to have a heart-to-heart conversation with the staff tomorrow. They also plan to ask to see more medical records and they're thinking of seeking outside opinions on Grace's scans.
Dad is planning to return to work tomorrow. Mom is still feeling no pain from the gall bladder situation - and she said that after eating so much "grass" in the past few days days, she's becoming quite fond of salad! :)
Please pray for:
- Grace's full and complete recovery/brain activity
- No more storming
- Favor with the hospital staff
- Wisdom for mom and dad to balance their family's time

Ya'll are a serious testimony in all that you have been through here and the strength you have to get up every day is obviously not your own- Know that many are watching and praying with you! May God get all the Glory in this situation!

Grace can do all things (breathe, eat, sleep, her heart is beating perfectly, her blood pressure is normal) through Christ who strengthens her. The Lord is strengthening her body and healing everything that was damaged.
Grace and Peace (Shalom - nothing missing, nothing broken) to Grace.
The Lord bless Grace and her family and keep them, the Lord make His face shine upon them and be gracious unto them and give them peace.
Grace and her family have favor with God and man.
Dear Family,
I am one of the many people in Michigan praying for all of you daily and especially for your little girl – that she will receive the best medical treatment possible and that her body will continue to heal and grow stronger. I once had a Doctor tell me that medical science has no idea how much a brain can restore itself. With your sweet Grace in the hands of the great physician, there is no limit to what can happen.
I'm praying that the Lord's arms of love and peace will surround you all and that each day will be hopeful step toward Grace's return to good health.
Psalm 27:13,14
We continue to pray for the end of the storms. We pray for healthy braincells and pathways. We pray for wisdom for the physicians. We pray for healthy emotions for the whole family. We pray for reassurances that financial needs will be met. Above all, we pray that Grace would awaken to be the same delightful child she was just a few weeks ago.
Elisabeth
