Update from Elaine
Kate's one word for Tuesday...better. Now that is worthy of praise! Once again your prayers carried Kate before the Father and He heard your cries on her behalf. Thank you so much for being there for us, supporting us in prayer.
Points of Praise~
~Kate did not need anti-nausea medication today!
~Praise that Kate was fever free today!!!!! Her first temperature reading this morning was good. Right before I left to go to my Grandmother's funeral, her temp was 37.9. Fever is 38.
I left thinking a fever was eminent. Oh, me of wibbily, wobbily faith. When I called after the funeral to check in with Kate's nurse, she enthusiastically reported that Kate had come down on her own, meaning she didn't get a fever and she didn't have the help of Tylenol to do that!
~Praise that thus far, the initial blood cultures and the stool cultures have come back negative. That is a good thing! The lab will keep checking the initial cultures for five days to see if they begin growing any bacteria. A second set of cultures was sent yesterday and we should soon have the first 24 hour report back on those.
~How thankful we are for the blessing of good friends in our lives. One of Kate's friends came for the day to keep her company in my absence. Another group of friends visited this evening bringing contagious laughter and bearing fun poster boards covered with pictures of fun times with friends to decorate Kate's room.
Requests:
~Please continue to ask for victory over the fever, protection against the growth of bacteria and a stop to the diarrhea.
~No further loss and a miraculous improvement in the hearing loss remain primary points of prayer focus.
Today we honored the memory of my Grandmother by celebrating her life. While losing her brings a sadness to my heart, I am so thankful that she is finally free from the confusion and disorientation that robbed her of so much life these last years. The special memories I have of times shared with Grandma will forever be treasured in my heart.
Isn't it amazing grace, that God gives us countless reasons for praise every day of our life!
Blessed by grace,
Elaine

I am never surprised when I hear good news about Kate. It is such a reassuring feeling to know that all we have to do is pray and ask for God's mercy and we will receive it. When we are watching Kate at the Prom in that knockout blue gown this will all be but a memory. We can all sit back and be thankful that we got to see a miracle happen.
I bought my little Mags some treats and surprises today. She will probably have to report to the office AGAIN!!!! What fun it is to love you three.
Love and kisses,
PB

AWESOME!!!! May we praise the Lord for all HE is doing!!
"Praise be to you, O Lord, God of our father Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is yours. Yours, O Lord is the kingdom; you are exalted as head over all. Wealth and honor come from you; you are the ruler of ALL things. In Your hands are STRENGTH and POWER to exalt and give STRENGTH TO ALL! Now, our God, we give you thanks, and praise Your glorious name!!"
1 Chron. 20:10-13 Thank you dear Jesus for giving strength and healing to Kate!!!!
