I have to apologize for not getting an update up earlier. I am very sorry, but thank you for being patient with me.
I just spoke to Mark, he was sitting down eating some dinner while Heather slept and she requested that he stay with her tonight so he will be going back to the hospital afterwards. Yes, she requested.
She has full mobility. She’s been walking around and changed from those hospital gowns to her nice, soft jammies today. She wants her hair washed. 
She’s not really talking. It’s all there in her mind, she’s just having some trouble getting it from there to her mouth. She is able to shake her head yes and no and she understands you most of the time. She’s smiling and happy… she knows when people are there. I can only imagine how frustrated she is.
She’s not really in any pain, but she was a little dizzy earlier. Mark said he thinks it’s partially due to the fact that she wasn’t drinking enough. They are getting on top of that though.
Specifics for prayer:
- That she get some good rest.
- That her speech comes back quickly
- That she stays relatively pain free
Thank you sooo much for caring so deeply for Heather and her family. Thank you for those prayers and please keep them coming.
From Mark:
hey folks…pray that satan would be bound from Heather’s thought life, that she would not be discouraged or worried about the days to come, and that the Lord would comfort her and give her peace.

Ephesians 3:20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
21Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
I have been in awe of this journey; of the love and support shown by strangers. I’m not a Christian–I was at one time but am not now but I am strengthened by what I see in this community of souls. It gives me hope..for myself, for my children and for the world. Heather, Mark and your family and friends–I wish you the best. We are ALL in this TOGETHER.
Thanks for the update I have been watching all day. It sounds like Heather is doing pretty good for the first day after surgery. I hope Mark gets some rest. Please tell her to try to be patient and hang in there. We are all praying for her and the family.
Oh my word. I’ve been checking in all day today to see what’s new. Thank you for the update! Praise God. That is awesome news.
I’ve been checking all day too and praying. Thanks for the update!

Silly old brain tumor- shoo.
We need our girl back and talkin now…
oh, the relief…praise God.
Isn’t He wonderful, wonderful, wonderful? Isn’t Jesus my Lord wonderful? Eyes have seen, ears have heard; it’s recorded in God’s word.
Isn’t Jesus my Lord wonderful?!?!
Just one of my favorite Bible School songs from when I was a kid. I’ve been singing His praises all day long sing reading Mark’s post this morning. Soooooo glad Heather is doing well. Wow! I am amazed at all that she is doing…..only 1 day after brain surgery!! Will keep praying for her continued healing. Love to all!
I can only imagine how comfy she is in her own jammies. Everyone needs their own jammies and pillow for a hospital stay. God is good all the time; all the time God is good.
So glad to hear she is happy and smiling. We have a very good God!
Praise the Lord!! This news made my day! I will continue praying for her full and complete recovery. Thank you so much for keeping us in the loop.
Amen. ((hugs))
Thanks so much for the great update! I was checking in just about every hour to see if there was any news. She’s been in my thoughts and prayers all day.
Our God is an awesome God!

Hurray!
It absolutely amazes me that someone can have people poking around in their BRAIN one day and be in such good shape the next.
Praise God for the advances in modern medicine.
We’ll keep praying!
Heather’s Central Texas Fan Club is crying with joy! Glory to God! May He use these difficult times to draw you closer to Himself. He is worthy!
Yours and His,
Emmie
