I'm Home Again

Got home today a few hours ago. The surgery went well. I am tired and I am hoping to head to bed soon.

Thanks so much for your prayers. Our God is gracious and full of mercy!

Surgery today

Headed to cities today to have shunt placed. Almost 1/2 way there. I threw up in the driveway but have slept mostly since then.

Please pray that I am completely in God's caring hands. I believe he has told me that I will be completely healed and have an incredible story to tell.

Thanks so much for cards, prayers, concerns, presents! They mean more than we can say!

Pray ok!

Help

Spent most of the day in the car and the doctor's office. Went over this morning for a blood test. Also yesterday had a leak start where one of my incisions is. We went to ER last night and they sent us home. While we had the blood work done we asked my oncologist and he said we should call my surgeon in the cities.

We called and, of course, they wanted to see me today. My sis is here and kept the kiddos so Dan could take me to the appt.

About 45 min in office and my surgeon had stuck a needle in the puffy place on my neck (ouch) and taken 2 1/2 syringes of spinal fluid and stitched it up (double ouch - pretty sure I said some unchrist like things here).

If I don't leak anymore everything will be good. If my spinal fluid leaks they will put in a shunt on Thursday. It has a couple of nights hospital stay and can be done in the cities. PLEASE pray that god answers by healing my drip! I so don't want to go to the cities again. I want to say "enough is enough" but only He knows for sure.

Please pray hard. I know that God is amazing and He has things planned for us that we will only see by saying yes. I expect to be fully healed by Him and telling my story soon!

A little bit...

I'm home. It's been a week and I'm just starting to feel like things are somewhat normal.  The kids spent the week at camp and my sister was here with me. She's let me sleep and just keep a low profile. Dan is here eves and weekends. He's been amazing - everything a real husband is about.

I've been walking and walking farther each day. I seem to get more strength each day. I prayed and asked for supernatural power from Jesus. He is so good, so beautiful. I will not get strength from anything or anyone else.

I am praying and waiting for some big promises from God. Please, believe with me that He will deliver no matter what. I'm going to go now but with a message that God gave Paul and I feel he's given to me, also. Love you and I'll check back soon

Phil 4:12-13
I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned to secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do ALL things through Him who gives me strength.
