"And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:19
Mary Graham is still stable and on the lowest settings of her ventilator. The doctors had thought they would take her off the ventilator, however, her belly is still distended and tight and they want all the gas to come out before she is breathing on her own. So the plan is to wait another night. They don't want to cause any more problems went she comes of the ventilator and I'm all for that. She got a blood transfusion this morning after having her central line placed and that went smoothly. She has had lasiks to help get more of the fluid out and that seems to be helping also.I am thankful that she is not too aware of her pain. It is really sad when she cries though, a few times today she has gotten really upset, has tears rolling down her cheeks and opening her mouth, but no sound comes out because of the tube in her throat. These are times when she needs pain medicine and usually calms down quickly, but it's very hard to watch and not be able to hold her.
We are thankful for these little steps and ask you to pray for a good night and for her belly and fluids to come down. Also pray for no more complications, infections or lung issues.
Today I have been thinking about God's relationship to MG, how much he loves her, and how I'm always trying to get in the middle of that and fix things myself-what momma wouldn't be doing that? However, after remember this verse, I am trying to let go and trust that God know's Mary Graham's specific needs and praying that he is guiding the doctors, nurses and us to meet those needs. As always, thank you for praying.
