Monday, January 8th UPDATE (From Tim): CLARIFICATION: (We rejoice in small victories, and praise God for those. I just didn’t want there to be a false misunderstanding of Mom’s overall condition, which remains very serious.)
Mom had a more restful night last night than she’s been having during her illness.That was good both for her and for Terry, who stayed with her last night. I’m posting this photo I just took of her because we’re so thankful that Physical Therapy/Occupational Therapy was able to get her into a chair and sit up for a while. This is a positive step.
Mom has been communicating with us by little hand signals she has cleverly devised, and by writing notes to us.
I asked her if she had anything specific she’d like to say in this post, and she wrote down a message:
“Thanks for prayers! Keep on!”
We’re still praying for a miracle of healing in Mom’s life. She has told us many times that she will give God all the glory, and testify of the great things He has done in her life.
Please pray specifically not only for her lungs to clear up, but that she can transition for periods of time to a less aggressive form of oxygen treatment, building up her lungs.
Mom is rely on promises from God’s Word to give her strength. She pointed to Philippians 4:13 to include in this message: “
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”
I’m not a Social Media expert or even utilize it much, but I know some who will see this are. For Mom’s benefit, I’d like to see if we can use it to help. If you have expertise in this area, send me a direct message please.
