Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow....

His blessings are new every morning. Mom is doing GREAT this morning. When I saw her this morning she was sitting up in the chair. She was able to sit up for about 15 minutes. Later she actually took a stroll around the hall. She has a new type of pain block(Peri-vertibral- continuous infusion) that keeps her stomach numb but not her legs so she can get walking while controlling her pain. Her bilirubin level is down to 10.2 (Highest was 18) so her itching is getting better as is her coloring. Please pray during her recovery for:

• For God to be glorified in this situation.
• That pain will continue to be well controlled so that she can walk and move comfortably and so that she can breath deeply to avoid pneumonia.
• Bilirubin levels will continue to decrease to normal levels.
• Incisions will remain clean and infection free.
• Drainage to decrease and become increasingly clear and less bloody(They are doing well now).
• There would be no leakage inside the GI tract from the surgical sites.
• Bowel function would return quickly.
• A good nights rest each night and several good naps each day.
• For Mom to be home for Christmas.

Thank you to all of the prayer warriors out there doing battle for Mom. She said she is doing so well because of all the prayer. She is not anxious about anything but is resting secure in her Saviour's mighty arms.
