Today started off better, but she was in a lot of pain from her surgery. The Dr. had warned us that due to the fact that she was so skinny, she would probably be in a little more pain than the normal child. Imagine that, Lucy being anything but "normal." But her pain was well maintained and she managed to spend some time playing on the computer and playing with her sticker book.
Tonight we are really watching a low blood pressure issue that she has developed. The Drs. aren't too worried about it, but it is making me very uneasy. I am so very tired, but I just can't sleep until I know that her pressure is coming up. We are going to check every 30 min until we see it come up and then stabilize.
I got to meet with my sweet friend Kristie and her husband Jerry tonight and was able to love on Justin for a minute. It wasn't long enough. Please say an extra prayer for them tonight. My heart is bleeding for them tonight.
Oh, these photos just break my heart. Praying right now that Lucy has a much better day tomorrow without pain and that you get much needed rest.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could be there and stay up for you, but of course I cannot. You are so strong and Lucy even stronger. Prayers for you and your girl as always.

Please let me know if there is anything needed at this time. I am here in Memphis, we have talked a few times, and I am here to help in any way possible.. Godspeed my friend! Hugs!!!
I came across your blog from a friend's blog and have spent the last couple days reading your story. First of all, I'm praying for you all and for Lucy. I have been inspired by you and your faith. During the past few months, we have gone through some trying times and there have been a few verses that have stayed with me.
ReplyDeleteRomans 8:28
New International Version (NIV)
28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who[a]have been called according to his purpose.
Jeremiah 29:11

Galatians 6:9
New International Version (NIV)
9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
You are inspiring people through your faith and Lucy's story will change lives. God is good all the time! Thank you for reminding me to count my blessings everyday.
Oh, breaks my heart to see Lucy in a hospital bed. Praying that the blood pressure issue resolves soon so that you can get some rest. Such a long journey with so many hills to climb. God bless you all.
ReplyDeleteI am crying out for you right now. I know our God is holding Lucy and you but I ache for Lucy to be well. I hope you can find comfort that even strangers are praying for your family. God bless you and give you rest.
