Editor's note: our computer lost its marbles today. We are committed to keeping this blog updated consistently. We don't anticipate this, but if If we miss a day, it's probably our fault and not anything with Grace.
Grace only stormed for 45 minutes between the time of 8:00am and 5:30pm. Praise GOD! Grace stopped storming on her own again as the nurse was walking in with the medicine to stop the episode! Grace is still on schedule to have the surgery on Monday at 1:15pm.
Mom's gall bladder has improved to where she hasn't needed any pain medication today!
God has really been using others to encourage the family in all different shapes and forms. The guys from Dad's old small group are taking Dad out to breakfast tomorrow. Friends continue to bring meals for the family. God continues to provide financially through those sources that one may least expect. Grace's church continues to stand strong with them! They are being quite resourceful in finding ways to help - even going to the point of helping Dad fix the dryer! All sorts of people around Grace's family are coming out with stories of their family members who for one reason or another had an MRI showing brain damage and then came back to lead perfectly healthy lives!
Perhaps today's biggest challenge is with Grace's brother. He's still deeply missing Grace, and doesn't understand why she can't be home with him. He's been extra fussy, and has been hoarding Grace's possessions.
Again, thank you for your continued comments! They carry very special meaning to mom and dad!
Please continue to pray for:
- Grace's full recovery
- Mom's continued recovery
- Grace's successful tracheotomy on Monday
- Grace's triumphant transfer from ICU
- Emotional healing for Grace's brother and the family
- Continued financial provision for the family. (e-mail info@GraceGoodDay.com for info on how to help. If you e-mailed and haven't heard back yet, please e-mail again... pesky blue screens of death!)

We praise God for every victory, large or small, and continue to pray, as well. We lift up Mom and Dad's marraige, as well as little brothers and extended family. We pray for the details of life to work themselves out, so that Mom and Dad can concentrate on getting the important things done. We thank you for physician's who see them as individuals and pray for continued mercies. We pray for safe pathways to be forged through the brain. We lift up Mom's gall bladder and pray for mercy with her medical staff. We pray that the surgery on Monday would be routine and uncomplicated.
We also lift up the computer that has been acting up. We know that the enemy will do anything he can to stop prayer. We pray that God will keep the lines of communication open so that we can pray accurately. We ask these things in Jesus name, for His glory.

Grace, we are praying for you as you have your surgery tomorrow...may it be another stepping stone to recovery and moving out of the ICU! I loved when I read what someone wrote about praying for you like they would their own child, because that is exactly what we are doing. We are praying for you and Mom and Dad and your brothers as if we were in prayer for our own children and as if we were Jacob who did not let God go until He blessed him...we are not letting God go until He blesses us all with the miracle of your healing and of your homecoming. You have SO MANY brothers and sisters in Christ lifting you up...you have actually been an instrument to bring us all together and to bring us to our knees more often. I can't wait to see what God is going to do with your life! Many prayers and thoughts and love for you all tomorrow! Love, The Blan family
