Today went as well as possible. We are praising God for his care and tender mercies.
To respond to each of the requests:
1. Easy time coming out of anesthesia- Compared to the three hours of screaming last time she barely cried, nursed right away drifted off to sleep and has been mostly sleeping today, Praise God
2. Not too much pain- She hasn't been crying much so I will take that as not too much pain, Praise God
3. That she'll be ok to come home - we are home and both girls are fast asleep (and I am hurrying because Lost starts in 6 min but my mom said I had to update you! Praise God!
4. That he will be successful in removing a bunch with the dermabrasion- He did a lot, more than I even thought he would, we won't know for a bit if it was successful but have every reason to believe it was, so Praise God but continue to pray on this one!
5. That she will do ok in the morning before with the fasting! - It was a little tough, I won't lie, especially with fussy nurses but she made it, Praise God!
6. That healing will be quick- obviously this is another one to continue to pray about.

Additional request, one of the bandages is leaking right down into (pardon me but even as a physical therapist I dont know the anatomical politically correct word) buttcrack and the worry is if fluid can get out germs (or specifically poop) can get in which is obviously bad SO tomorrow he will have to take that bandage off, which will likely hurt her terribly, so a few extra prayers for that tomorrow, plus the fact that I have to drag her out of the house the day after surgery, not fun! Well thats about it, the pics show you how the balloons are getting big (he said those are about 1/2 way) and also how happy she is tonight and I have you all to thank for that with all the glory going to God, gotta run, the "island" beckons.

Hi Amanda - I am a friend of Angels from church and just wanted to add another "Praise God". We had a preemie who had to spend 9 weeks in the NICU and so we have some idea of the stress your family is going through as you watch your little one undergo medical procedures, etc.
ReplyDeleteMay God continue to bless your family & when she is wearing a bikini in high school, may you still have your sense of humor. :)
Your girls are so so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThank you for keeping us all updated. I am praying for you guys. I pray that you all sense God's presence around you. I pray that there is quick healing.
