Can I tell you how it blesses my soul to feel bathed in your prayers. It is remarkable to me to feel as though we belong to church body even if it is stretched across the world. I guess this how the disciples felt? They belonged to the body of Christ yet they were sent out to spread his word, “…making disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit… Matthew 28:19”. Right now we have the Pettit Family in El Salvidor, Mike Slusher who is in Costa Rica and all of you who are openly praying for our girl. You my friends are spreading his word. I am truly blessed that each one of you are taking time to stop and pray. You all are an example and encouragement in my daily walk “….teaching me to obey everything he has commanded of me. And surely he is with me always, to the very end of the age...Matthew 28:20″” Thank you sweet friends for walking through this valley with us and taking time to make the climb.
Her temp. is down AMEN! She still has a very bad headache when she sits up. Her left leg is in very bad pain… She developed a bump on the right side of the skull above her ear… the doctors are not worried about the bump but I am freaked out about it because it is hurting. The strain of gram negative , I has not yet come back I’m waiting very anxiously. Her back has started building up more fluid in a different spot and in the previous spot. I have not been told what the docs are planning on doing or why she is building up this fluid…… She is not eating still, we are feeding her by her G-tube every four hours but only 90cc that is only 90 calories every four hours…
Like I said Yesterday I could go on and on…. Just pray… Love to all
Praying this morning….so glad her temp is down, praying for healing of new area that is collecting fluid, healing for the infection, healing for stretched & swollen spinal column & nerves, praying for strength & peace that only God can give. Love mama/mema
I like the blog entry because then we know what is going on and more specifically, how to pray. I dislike knowing that Minnie’s little body is hurting si much….and that Rachel’s spirit is hurting. Even as you praise, I can hear and understand your exhaustion. God made me with such a Florence Nightingale complex…I want to fix and heals things. I want o fix this whole situation right now. I want to be there to hold you both and give you hugs of comfort and just let you relax and cry and sob or scream. But all I can do right now is lift you up to Jehovah, the Great Healer. So prayers from here in California too….as I prayed this week while in Tokyo…and Madrid. And I’ll continue to lift you both up from wherever my flights take me….you are in my heart, thoughts and prayers….
Love, Diane
I will just keep praying with you, grieving with you, and will rejoice with you when you get to take Minnie home and her body is on the mend. I am thankful her fever is down. Praise God for that.
prayers are continuing here. We have spread the prayer request again to our faithful friends.
