May God bless each of you for your prayers, words of encouragement, and yes good words from the Lord.
Heather tried to move onto the ICU bed all by herself, but the nurses were there to stop her, and do that for her. Thats a good sign don’t ya think? All she could do was nod her head and stare at us when we asked her questions. It will take her some time to come off the meds. It might take a few days for her to say anything so lets keep praying for a strong recovery.
When they rolled her off today it was like it hit all of us…OH MY HERE WE GO. And then we just had to go back to living moment by moment. Thats about all I have to say right now, 4:45am is catching up with me.
I leave you with this. As I sat and talked with my father-in-law today this passage in James I kept coming to me.
2-4Consider it a sheer gift, friends, when tests and challenges come at you from all sides. You know that under pressure, your faith-life is forced into the open and shows its true colors. So don’t try to get out of anything prematurely. Let it do its work so you become mature and well-developed, not deficient in any way.
5-8If you don’t know what you’re doing, pray to the Father. He loves to help. You’ll get his help, and won’t be condescended to when you ask for it. Ask boldly, believingly, without a second thought. People who “worry their prayers” are like wind-whipped waves. Don’t think you’re going to get anything from the Master that way, adrift at sea, keeping all your options open.
9-11When down-and-outers get a break, cheer! And when the arrogant rich are brought down to size, cheer! Prosperity is as short-lived as a wildflower, so don’t ever count on it. You know that as soon as the sun rises, pouring down its scorching heat, the flower withers. Its petals wilt and, before you know it, that beautiful face is a barren stem. Well, that’s a picture of the “prosperous life.” At the very moment everyone is looking on in admiration, it fades away to nothing.
12Anyone who meets a testing challenge head-on and manages to stick it out is mighty fortunate. For such persons loyally in love with God, the reward is life and more life. the message bible

Prayers going up from Atlanta, GA…thank you for keeping us posted on Heather’s condition. May the Lord wash you in His peace and keep His healing hand upon Heather.
I picture Gods presence all around… in the rooms… standing beside the doctors and nurses. Guiding the hands of all who are chosen to take care of Heather. He rests there with Heather by her side and comforts your family through this time. I seek Him with thankfulness for all He continues to do in all of our lives!!!
Wishing you a beautifully blessed weekend!!
**Lots of Hugs**
Still praying….
Praying she is progressing well today, and for full function to return. I am in awe when I think on the presence of God surrounding you but also the medical team, and the hope that someone new will come to know Him through this experience you’ve had to endure.

Praying off and on and checking for updates whenever I’m at the computer.
Love to all of you from across the miles!
Praying here in Michigan! Heather is an amazing woman and ever since I came across her blog several weeks ago it made me realize how trivial my problems are that I was whining, complaining and feeling self-pity over! Heather has ministered to me in ways she probably doesn’t even know! She’s made me realize that I have to love deeper, hug my son tighter and not take things for granted anymore!
Thank you Lord for such a wonderful woman and I ask in Jesus precious name that she be fully restored back to health. Amen!
We’re praying for your dear Heather and family!
God Bless you all!!!!
