Last Post of the Day!
It has been 16 hours since we arrived this morning. We are so glad we have had each other for this long wait!! We are weary, but anxious to see Kristi, and at the same time, dreading to see her in this new condition. They finished Kristi's surgery at 8:30 tonight. The plastic surgeon and Dr. Levenback were very tired as well when they came to talk to us. They both feel the reconstruction went well and are pleased overall with the surgery. They are working to wake her and remove some of the tubes before taking her to her room for the night. They have to get her up and moving around as soon as possible after being under anesthetic for so long. We hope to see her in 1-2 hours before going home to get some sleep for tonight. Tomorrow begins a new journey and hard battle of healing. They said that the next 4 days are important in how her body responds to the changes and reconstructive process. Pray for her as she awakens. For God's grace to enable her to accept all of these changes. She is so brave and we are so proud of her!

I just started reading this blog yesterday after hearing of this story on Wednesday. Last night, I awoke around 2am with a song playing in my head and the Lord, prompting me to pray for you Kristi. The song is "Mountaintop" by City Harmonic. I think this came into my mind from a previous post where the poster said it felt like this situation at times has gone from mountaintop to valley. The song lyrics are here.... http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/cityharmonic/mountaintop.html. I couldn't go back to sleep for a while afterwards so I just laid there praying for you to feel the presence of our God. After some unrestful sleeping, I woke back up with another song in my head "Beautiful Things" by Gungor. I wanted to share these two songs with you and your family today. Here's the lyrics to "beautiful things" http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/gungor/beautifulthings.html . May God bless you and Keep fighting.
ReplyDeleteI love reading these comments and how God is putting Kristi and her family on people's hearts. I, too, have been waking throughout the night and immediately feel the desire to pray for Kristi, her husband, kids, family and her parents. I am happy to hear that the doctors liked the 'margins' they got. Sounds good. I'll continue to pray. As Philippians 1:6 says, "I am confident that He who began a good work in you will carry it on until completion...."
