Tuesday (1)

They took Mom's breathing tube out!!
They called Dad earlier this morning to tell him to come because Mom was asking for him!
Thank you Lord. Dad says that she is really able to talk; it is a "hoarse whisper" but at least we can communicate! I can't even tell you how frusterating it was yesterday...
Once again, God has brought her a step further. It is a miracle because, just yesterday, they had to increase her oxygen to 70%.
They will, of course, have to put it back in for surgery :( but hopefully she will not have it in as long during recovery.

Still no word on the pelvis surgery; Dad said there are 4 or 5 breaks, but it is not "shattered" like we thought at first.
Ben, Autumn and I are going down momentarily. Dad is on his way back actually, to rest and go to work a little. Thank you for praying-- God is answering so faithfully!

  3. What great news!! Have a wonderful visit. Isn't it amazing how this sort of thing really brings into focus the things that matter most! Just a few words, but being able to communicate with those you love is so important.

  4. Prayers to all. I will enter Ruth's name in our church prayer request book when I go to daily mass tomorrow. I hope Ruth continues to improve.
