Latest update! Open Heart Surgery.

 

So obviously since the last post some things have changed in accordance with my moms “condition”.

Very positive changes.

 

This time last week I was grieving the potential loss of my mother.

This week I am rejoicing in the miracle that God has performed on her.

After being admitted into the hospital for pneumonia, then finding out it was NOT an pneumonia at all that it was serious heart complications, they told us that her arteries were VERY blocked and VERY small…much too small to operate on. They did not fail to mention that her heart was very weak and in terrible shape [a major portion of her heart looked to have been dead], that she may not be a candidate for surgery and that our only other reasonable option could be a transplant, which we would never be suitable for since she did not have health insurance and it’s an extremely expensive procedure (they also made sure that we were well aware of that, oh ye of little faith).

Yes, you could say I was grieving.

In 7 days (ironic, eh?) the Lord allowed her heart to strengthen and her spirits to lift. With each passing day after they had told us the devastating results, she continued to look better and better, and feel stronger and healthier. Friday they did an MRI and surgery was a GO! Today she is in recovery after a TRIPLE bypass and mitral valve repair.

God is good…and no one will ever convince me that it was anything less than God. I saw His power with my own eyes. He restored her, He is healing her and He is amazing.  She will continue to be in recovery for a few more days, but I have no doubt that her recovery will be speedy and she will feel healthier than ever, praise God.  God turned a terrible situation into a rewarding and humbling experience for my entire family and all of our friends who have been there in support and those who have taken the time to pray for her and us. Thanks again, from the very bottom of my heart!

 

Here’s what our last few days have looked like:

 

 

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more

than all we ask or imagine, according to his power

that is at work within us…Ephesians 3:20.

 

Thank you

I just want to send a huge hug and a thank you to all of those who have been there to support my mom and our family during this difficult time. She has had an abundance of love and visitors and PRAYER that was so needed and appreciated.

As of right now she is stable and doing ok. The hospital is still running tests to determine the best solution for her issues at this time. We are complete believers in the power of God and His will not only for my moms life but each and everyone of our lives. God is a healer and we stand on His Words. My mom is the most faith filled person that I have ever met, and a complete role model in my life, which gives me the strength that I need to withstand this. I am blessed.

Anyways, thank you from the bottom of my heart (and everyone in our family's) I haven't been able to answer my phone due to the call and text volume that I have had, but please call Jake if you need an update or any questions. (if you don't have his number let me know and I'll gladly give it to you.)

Thank you thank you thank you.

Please say a little prayer.

 

 

My mom was admitted into the hospital on Friday for pneumonia amongst a few heart related issues. Please pray for peace and healing in her body as she is going through a very exhausting time. We are thankful she’s is in a place where they can treat whatever is going on with her, still emotional and uncomfortable all the same. I mean seriously, who likes to be stuck in a hospital? no one.

Thank you.
