May 18, 2009

Mrs Alice had a rough night last night. Her nurse could not get a blood pressure reading for her. They finally got one this morning after upping her blood pressure medicine significantly. He said that it is typical for a trauma patient to have ups and downs.He also said that Mrs. Alice is very sick. Her lungs are pretty bad. They are constantly pumping infection out. Tonight they are planning to close up her abdomen. It has been open since the first surgery she had on May 6th. Hopefully this will be a success:) We are not giving up!

Beth got her staples and stitches taken out today. YAY!! She has been a little sick, but she is doing great! The doctor told her that it would be a long time before her wounds would heal, and that he is still worried that infection will set in. BUT so far so good! She does not have a drop of infection in her leg. Praise the Lord!

Please continue to pray for both of them. We are believing God is going to work! This is a promise that we get from the bible in Romans 8:28:

"And we know that all things work together
for good to them that love God, to them who
are the called according to his purpose."
God Bless!

  1. thanks jenna for the update. this is a very special thing you're doing to keep all concerned up to date on alice and beths progress. i will continue to pray. i want to leave you a thought to hold onto while you're going through this difficult time. "if we never had a problem we wouldn't know that He can solve them and we would never know what faith in God can do" keep your head high and your spirit strong and if you feel you're getting a little weak just lean on Jesus. He will lift you up. God bless all of you. sincerely, sue

  2. I am so glad that progress is taking place in Aunt Alice and Beth's lives. God is certainly working a miracle. This is what our family needs to keep our faith strong, is to see a miracle. I know that there is a purpose for everything. Although we have questioned why many times I believe that this has affected my Daddy(Alice's unsaved brother)more than anything. He has been out of church for about 40 years now.I have always prayed that God would save him. I have never heard my Daddy have such a positive attitude. I reassure him that God is working a miracle and we actually agree. I know God is not only preforming a healing miracle but also a spiritual one.
