It is hard seeing your friend in so much pain and discomfort. I wish I could take this away from her.
The best thing we can all do is pray for her....I know that sounds so "simple" but she cherishes those prayers for specific things and she knows it is helping!
Pray for a good nights sleep and that her bloating and pressure will subside.
She is experiencing LOTS of bloating and pressure in her belly. But her illi bag started to "burp" this afternoon....which is a very positive sign. That means the air is leaving her body and that gave her some relief.
She did sit and eat a little broth and hot tea tonight which was encouraging! Hopefully tomorrow she can move on to thicken liquids. (Doesn't she look amazing for not showering in 4 days?!?!?)
The doctor says that she is "right on schedule." So I guess that is good....but Marcia would say these last few days have been the worst days she has ever had. She didn't realize/grasp how hard this kind of surgery was going to be. But by God's grace she is keeping a positive attitude through it all.
Father, I pray for peaceful rest for Marcia and I ask that you will renew her faith and strength each morning. I praise you for how far you've brought her. I thank you that you are in control and that you have Marcia safely in your loving hands. Amen.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful that we can go to our loving Heavenly Father during these difficult times. Marcia, you are filled with God's goodness and grace even in the midst of this difficulty. He is faithful and He is taking you through the healing process. It was wonderful to hear about the "burping". The righteous effectual prayers of Heidi, Leah and Valerie as well as many others are making a difference.
ReplyDeleteHeavenly father please place your healing hand on Marcia's body and may your will be done. Thank you for blessing her with a positive attitude and may she have strength in you to continue on this journey for your glory.
