And finally, a calm day...
It is amazing how quickly our prayers are being answered. Stew called me early this morning to tell me that his sight in the right eye is better today. This is precisely what I was so concerned about yesterday. Also, there are some other issues with the pituitary gland that I also asked you to pray about yesterday. I was able to (finally) speak with the Dr. today about this, and he greatly put my mind at ease. (Note to self: stay away from Google...too much info. that really just scares me. I have got to develop a little more patience!)
Stew had a mammoth headache today. He didn't have as good a day as yesterday, but we were happy to know that Smokey the Bear was in his room. :) Oh, those pain meds. Today makes 6 days in ICU.
Saw the incision today for the first time. Sobering. And very, very large. Surgery is just so life-changing...but still so grateful for how much better he is going to be when he gets through this.
Thank you for all of the visits today...how sweet you all are, and how much you love my family...I am so touched. His siblings went home this morning, and we are so blessed to have such a great family who loves their brother and son so much.
Keep praying. Stewart's greatest desire is to serve God with all of his heart and strength!
Blessings,
Denise

Denise, Hello, I'm a friend of Buck's and I have been praying for your family.
ReplyDeleteOur family has faced two brain surgeries with our boy, Corban. At 5 years old and 6 years old Corban has had surgeries that we never imagined would happen. We expected nothing but good things. I stayed away from Google, Beth, my wife did not, and we had similar reactions like you mentioned.
I can't tell your story, that is Abba's place, but I can tell you my story and it starts and ends with trusting in the one who made us to do whatever He wants to do with us. And I know that He loves us very much whether in the storm or viewing it from the outside.
Loving your family from the arms of Abba.
May your best hopes become reality.

Glad you had a better day! Many are praying for you. Cheryl said she sent you a card, so hopefully you'll get it soon.

Much love and prayers,

Hi Denise (and family). I know it has been some time since I have been in contact with your family, but I wanted you know that you Stewart and your family are in my daily prayers. I am glad Debbie Terrell told me about the blog so I can check in on daily updates. I am so thankful that the Lord is answering so many prayers so quickly, and I am thankful your family has so much support in Fort Worth. I will continue to pray for all of you.
