Mom woke up hoping to go home today, but she did not get her wish. Her surgeon wants a GI doctor to examine her, to check on her gallbladder & liver function. The tests should be tomorrow, but she is a bit hesitant to hope she could go home afterwards. . .
I asked her if she wanted me to visit this evening, and she said no, but "please pray." We cannot express how much prayer has sustained us all, especially Mom, through this trial. It is very natural to hit low points emotionally, and today was such a day. God is faithful to give us grace in time of need, and when we think we cannot endure any more, He somehow gets us through.
Mom still has her picc line, but she is free of all her other tubes and gadgets. They removed the staples from her incision today. She has had more jello than a person should endure; how can someone gain weight and strength on unappetizing food? One of her bright spots is to imagine what ornery things she could pull once she is back at church.

Connie, I pray during your times of discouragement that you are strengthened with a heart of thankfulness to praise God for His love and grace. You are so loved and we are all holding our breath to hear you are given the 'all clear'. I just know Jamie will wag her tail right off when she sees you get out of the car. God bless you and give you endurance for each new day. I love you, girl.--Donna
Hang in there, Connie. You're doing great. Love you, Bonnie
Connie, we're so disappointed that you have to undergo more testing before being discharged. Hope and pray that all goes well with the GI doctor and that all the test results come back normal. Gene & I will be gone to Dallas tomorrow celebrating Mark's birthday, but we will check your progress when we return. Take care. We all continue to hold you close in our thoughts and prayers. Love you, Phyllis
Thinking of you. You are in my prayers. I love you so very much.
