I have now worked 2 CNA shifts, and the second was much easier than the first! I actually had some sit down time which I used to do some well needed bible study. I am working through a book about the names of God, and this particular night I studied Yahweh/Adonay. This name literally refers to God as our Deliver. This is the name that the Israelites came to know God by when he delivered them from slavery in the book of Exodus. And how appropriate, since he literally delivered Abigail from death in that ER. Abigail is a miracle, there is no other explanation. She was under water for 30 minutes. Then clinically dead for 2 hours (no breathing or heart rate). Pastor Jeff and my husband began to pray OUT LOUD in the emergency room, Lord, you raised Lazarus from the dead. We believe that you still do miracles today, please, give us our daughter back. Within 30 seconds of that prayer, the nurse said, I have a pulse. Adonay, Abigail's deliverer.
This brings me to my second point: Why did God choose to act in Exodus, or in that hospital room? The Israelites were crying out. Richard and I and our Pastor cried out. God's power is released when we pray and ask. What do you need to ask for today?
Praise God, the infection that seemed to linger several weeks in this house in finally gone! I think a few of my nurses may have brought it home, please keep them in your prayers. Abigail is now not using the pump at all, she gets 6 boluses a day, and that covers all of her formula. The only negative is that at least half of the time when we give a bolus she gets agitated and has a lot more secretions, so as a result it is difficult to use her passi-mier. So we may have some setbacks in vocalization and ultimately removing her trache. Just pray for us to know the right thing to do. We visit the rehab doctor next Thursday and will know more about the hip situation at that time.
Thanks for reading. Talk to you soon.

Praise God for the success of Mom's CNA shifts and for the break time she had.
Praise God for His precious names, especially Adonai, the one who delivers. Praise God that He delivered Abigail from death and every plan of the evil one. She is completely healed by Jesus' stripes.
Praise God for Mom's strong faith and the strength He has given her to overcome every obstacle.
Praise God that the infection is gone and for healing the nurses who care for Abigail.
Praise God that Abigail is not using the pump any more and that her body is adjusted to the boluses with no agitation. The Name of Jesus is above every name so agitation has to go.
Praise God that her vocalization is continuing and that she can use her passi-mier. The trach will soon be removed in Jesus' Name.
Praise God that nothing is too difficult for Him and that Abigail's hips are being reset by the power of the Holy Spirit. It is not by might nor power, but by My Spirit says the Lord.
Thank you for the updates. We look forward to them.
Shalom - nothing missing, nothing broken.
