Surgery A Sucess

I was surprised that I got to talk to Mom tonight even after her having surgery today. Now that I think about it I should not have been surprised because Mom is a trooper and lets nothing stop her. Mom's surgery went well. She is home enjoying every minute of being spoiled by Dad. Dad even brought her dinner in bed :)

They got the rental home! The home is in a great neighborhood, cute yard and very well kept up inside and out. They are moving next Saturday! Dad's mom is coming down to help in any way she can with the move and the boys. Mom assured me that she would not be lifting any boxes after her surgery!

Mom and Dad obviously could not be at the hospital with Grace today due to mom's surgery. According to the night nurse, Grace had begun storming again. It seems to be a cycle lately of 2-3 days without storming and then less that 24 hours of storming. Mom commented that, "she sleeps well when this specific nurse is on duty because she has 24 years of experience".

Mom is continually reassured by the oldest brother bringing up Grace's name in conversation more as of late. Tonight they were praying at dinner and he asked to go see Grace again in the hospital.

Please Pray For:
  • Praise for a successful surgery
  • Praise for the oldest son talking about Grace
  • Praise for the rental home
  • Prayer for storming to cease permanently
  • Prayer for endurance through this trial
  • Prayer for a smooth move to their new home
  • Prayer for complete restoration of Grace
Thank you for all those who commented! Keep it up! It was great encouragement for me to read - I cannot imagine how much more the comments will encourage the family! Thank you for fighting for and with this family!

We are everyday praying for all of you. Praise God for a smooth move to your new rental home, for the succesful surgery of Mom and for the complete restoration of Grace. Eventhough we are very far from you Grace is in our daily prayers.

Thank you, Lord, that you gave the family the strength to wait until the right home came along. I ask for your blessing of peace.

Please, be with Mom while she recuperates. Help her to do the difficult task of letting other people pack up and move. Help her to completely recover.

Thank You for Your previous financial provision. I ask that You would continue to provide.

Thank You for the wisdom You have given to parents and doctors. Continue to guide them. Thank You for making it clear that Grace is still aware of her world.

In Your name I pray. Amen.
