Taking the Scenic Route

Today he was moved out of the ICU into the regular surgical floor.  He is doing well.  He will have surgery on Monday, and will probably be in the hospital about 3 days after that.  Mom is trying to find a hospital bed for him to put downstairs for a few weeks when they come home so he doesn’t have to climb stairs, and since he is going to have problems getting out of the waterbed.

Mom said today that God is really taking care of her.  She keeps having people ’show up’ exactly when she needs them.  Like the friend that stopped by just as she started down the hall carrying the too-heavy load as they were moving to the new room, and carried the things for her, and the friends that showed up in the cafeteria when she was having lunch just when it all finally sunk in and she was feeling totally lost and overwhelmed.  She turned around and there were two close friends who just held her and let her cry and support her. 

Every day she sees the evidence of God’s hand through this, in both the subtle and the critical.  God is really holding her in the palm of His hand right now.  She feels the blanket of prayers and it is really making an impact on her life. Please keep praying.  It is helping.
