We’ve been back to visit her twice. She looks good and is in great spirits. She’s even feeding herself ice chips. She also keeps apologizing to her nurse, saying “I’m sorry I am so tired. I’d really like to talk to you.” Unfortunately she has no hearing in her left ear, but we knew that was going to be the case. As soon as our youngest son heard this he yelled “yay! Now we can scream around the house again!” She has some facial drop on the left side. The doctor says this should only be temporary. She can now feel things on her left side of her face too. This is an immediate improvement. She is very nauseous, but that is to be expected. She has been a real trooper. She has even let us take pictures and videos of her immediately following to compare “before and after”. I promised her I wouldn’t post them on Face book….but I didn’t promise not to post them on her blog. Nah, I probably shouldn’t.
She told me that when she first woke up and heard voices, she thanked GOD and knew he heard all of your prayers. Thank you. Earlier I walked the hospital in an effort to find the most uncomfortable chair possible to try to make my place of slumber for tonight. Mission accomplished. Goodnight for now.

Praise God. This is amazing. I hope she can talk to her nurse soon :-) I pray the nausea will also subside. May God continue to bless you all. I also pray you were able to rest.

ReplyDeleteJen,
ReplyDeleteI had your page up all day, so that I could check for updates. Your husband is doing a great job keeping everyone informed! So glad to hear that the surgery went well. You and your family have been in my prayers. Please let me know if I can do anything at all for you.

God really is good isn't He? What a great answer to prayer. We'll keep praying for a fast recovery.
ReplyDeleteKids really put things into their own perspective, don't they? That is so cute. I'm laughing through my tears.
