Next Steps

Daddy is recovering from his week in the hospital and I’m so pleased to have him and Mommy home. He will have the drainage bag for the foreseeable future. Daddy must visit the Neurologist and the Interventional

Radiologist to seek clearance to have his gall bladder removed. He will see his surgeon again in 1 month. Please pray for healing and restoration and that even while he prepares for another procedure, he will recover from the June procedure that was…complicated. We thank the Lord for His overruling and especially that Daddy has gained strength and stability in his legs even over the last week. Please pray for Mommy and me, too!! Thanks. PS. These pretty flowers came from my 🇬🇧Aunty for her big brother 💗.  

Daddy is home!

Daddy is home!!! I’m so glad. He and Mommy got home this afternoon and are exhausted. Please pray for good rest and that Daddy will heal nicely and gain strength. Thank you!!

Better Today…

Thanks so much for your prayers. Daddy is doing better today. He’s more aware, but still needs to gain strength and eat more food. We hope he will be discharged tomorrow. Please pray he is well enough to come home.  

We are supposed to be doing things together at home 😑

Daddy has not walked since the procedure and was unable to keep any food down today although it was only a little clear liquid. The past few weeks of pain at home really weakened him. Please pray he gains strength and health rapidly so he can come home ASAP and we can resume our Recovery Activities. Please also pray for Mommy. 💗 thanks! 

Stress Baking

Daddy has less pain since the GB drainage procedure. Please pray that drainage will be fully successful, he will be approved to eat soon, and that he’d be able to come home.

PS. I’m stress baking. That’s a coffee cheesecake.  

Daddy’s GB Procedure ✅

Daddy had the procedure to drain his Gall Bladder and it is confirmed that there was no rupture and there is no infection. Please pray for pain relief and complete healing.

Update: Daddy’s GB | The Valley of Baca

The scriptures tell me that the Pilgrim Mindset is a blessed one – when I feel less than thrilled about this path I remember that it assumes travel between positions of strength that often requires passing through the Valley of Baca (Tears/Weeping). But grace collects our tears and the rain,  and transforms them into wells of hydration that nourish the parched landscape. ||

Daddy will be transferred to the hospital. They have waited all day for a bed to open up. Please pray the transfer goes well and for patience, comfort and complete healing for him – the procedure to drain the GB will occur tomorrow. Please also pray for strength for Mommy. #avmsurvivor #strokesurvivor #lifeismysport #learninghowtolive #shreddedgrace #brainaneurysm #gallbladder 

Daddy’s GB

Daddy’s gall bladder is inflamed and he is spending the night at the clinic. He’s on antibiotics and will come home tomorrow pending additional blood work. Please pray for his healing and comfort. Thank you!

💗

Daddy’s medication has been adjusted and he is slowly feeling better, however he is still uncomfortable. Thank you for your prayers, and please continue to pray for all of us.

Update 😬💗😞💗😊

 **Prayer Req**: Daddy has had significant stomach pain this week. It might be the meds, but we are not sure – we have been consulting his docs. Please pray for resolution and comfort. || We have had a quiet few weeks adjusting to our new routine. Daddy is receiving in home care and is gaining strength. Dr. C improved bloodflow in the Left Carotid significantly. No further action will be taken to address the remaining blockages/aneurysms. We are grateful for the Lord’s preservation and the staff’s emergency intervention, and trust Him to see what life will be like now. || I was just diagnosed with additional L ear hearing loss and more interfering noise. While not thrilling to lose more, especially so soon, there is no structural cause for alarm, I still have one good ear 🙌 (ironically, my R ear used to be the bad one), and I’m thankful that this adjustment is nowhere near as challenging as the original onset in Q4 ‘18. We remain so grateful for your kind messages, cards, acts of loving service, and prayers. Please continue to pray for wisdom for us. #avmsurvivor #strokesurvivor #lifeismysport #learninghowtolive #brainaneurysm
