Update On Sandra
Posted: September 18th, 2008, 2:22 pm
Hey Guys;
Sorry I was so long in getting back to ya. I don't know why it took so long...I mean it aint like I am busy or any thing...
Sandra is doing well. She is in quite a bit of pain but that is to be expected. The surgery was done laproscopicly, however; they had to use 6 instruments at the same time so they made six little incisions each one about an inch to an inch and a half long. Now her entire abdomen looks like someone beat her with a baseball bat. It is extremely bruised.
The most important thing though is that God did a wonderful thing for Sandra. This is the first surgery that she has ever had with general anesthesia that she did not have lung trouble. The last time she went under she was on a respirator for about 18 hours before she could start breathing on her own. This time though, she did not even need as much as a breathing treatment. TO GOD BE THE GLORY!!!
Now is going to be the real need for prayer. Our entire way of thinking about food has to change. There is no way that I would even think of letting her try this alone, so, I will be dieting with her.
The one thing that she CAN NOT have any longer is bread. For her that is almost like saying she can't have air. I have agreed with her and I am not going to eat bread any longer either. So no kidding we do need your prayers.
As for the kind words that were said in the other thread we are extremely humbled...but if there is any thing remarkable about us it is the friends and family that we keep. We love you guys too.
I can't help but think about the song "I am blessed." Not just the blessings part but the most special to me is the part that says "Brother's and Sister's on this earth, they are mine by my new birth." Thanks so much for being our Brother's and Sister's.
Forever in the Grip of His Grace:
