24 hour stay

Mom was in the middle of her 24 hour stay when we had our conversation. It was amazing to hear the energy in her voice! She had done all the care for Grace thus far and was energized and raring to go the last home stretch of her stay at the hospital.

Mom has noticed that the storming seems to begin at bed time and last usually until the next morning. Interestingly enough, that is the time family is NOT with Grace. Mom is starting to conclude that Grace's absence of storming may be linked to the fact that family is present.

Dad and Mom continue to prepare for Grace's homecoming. Thanks to friends the house is quickly getting in order. Mom commented how nice it was to return home to blinds that were up on the windows.

Red tape is plentiful and Mom continues to tear through it by her persistence. Everything thus far is on schedule for Grace to return home on Monday as planned.

Grace had a simple procedure regarding her G-tube today and one of the nurses present asked to speak to Mom. She then shared how her brother had drowned at a young age and their family's fight for his life and healing. This conversation ended up being such a blessing to Mom! It is amazing the individuals God puts in your path!

The family is in need of a small color TV for Grace's room. The purpose of the TV would be for the nurses. They want to make the atmosphere in Grace's room accommodating, comfortable and welcoming to the nurses so the good nurses stay :) If you have an extra TV laying around and are interested in donating this to the family please contact info@gracegoodday.com. We would ask that you e-mail us rather than call the family due to the family needing to focus every minute of their attention on preparing for Grace to come home.

Please Pray For:
  • Praise for divine connections
  • Praise for Grace's homecoming on Monday
  • Praise for Mom's 24 hour stay going smoothly
  • Praise for the energy in Mom's voice
  • Prayer for complete restoration for Grace
  • Prayer for Dad's 24 hour stay tomorrow
  • Prayer for the right weekend/night nurse for the family
  • Prayer for financial provision (If you are interested in this area please contact info@gracegoodday.com).

Praise God for completing Mom's 24-hour stay with Grace successfully.
Thank God that Mom is well rested during this time.

Praise God that Dad's 24-hour stay will go smoothly and that Grace's transition to family life is very positive for all.

Praise God that Grace is aware of the time that family is present and that she improves when they are there. Grace is healed by Jesus' stripes.

Praise God that every detail of Grace's healing and return to the family is planned by God. All of Grace's needs are provided according to His riches in glory through Christ Jesus. No more red tape!

Thank God for a color TV for Grace's room. Thank God for providing excellent nurses to care for Grace at home. They are committed to stay with her until she is completely healed. Thank God that her healing is already completed and that it is progressing quickly each day.
