Sally Update

We are so thankful for your prayers and to our God the Ultimate healer. My mom is recovering well. She is still in ICU. Early this morning they removed the chest tube that collects all the extra liquid from her lungs. Now they are weaning her off the epidural, she’s at 16 and every hour will be moved down one level, until 0. She will then transfer to morphine, more than likely. Today she is assigned to walk with assistance, four times, still with her catheter and oxygen.

The results came back from the area of lung they removed, she is cancer free and it was verified that it was indeed “just” Valley Fever. This is reason to rejoice!

They moved her into a better area in ICU, it’s much quieter so she is getting more rest, exactly what she needs. Her spirits are up and she is being a super patient with following doctor’s orders with hourly breathing treatments, even if it hurts.

Please continue to pray. It appears that doctors are trying to move her out of the hospital quicker than she (and family) feel comfortable. We pray she gets hospital care through the weekend at least. After that, she’s declined our offer for her to move in here for the time. Instead, she’ll be going to my aunts… or by herself (which in my book should not be an option). My mom definitely knows how God took care of her, we pray she continues to trust in Him and grow into a deeper faith with Him.

Hugs to you all.
