This has been a day of lots of walking. Leslie has made several rounds through the halls of the hospital today, walking while I have pushed her IV pole. She got a little bit of rest this morning, but afterward tried not to use the morphine drip any. The pain caught up with her and her nurse encouraged her to use it so that she could walk more. She followed her instructions and that helped her to do the walking she needs to do. The goal right now is to get her insides working again. Please pray to that end.
She just called me while I'm writing, to make sure I made it home. It's 11:30 PM and she said she's having trouble sleeping. Please pray that she is able to rest!!
We had a quiet day, mostly. There were a few visits, and that was encouraging. But it was a good day for some downtime too. Her mother came up in the evening to let me get out for a minute. I hated leaving, as I always do. But I was able to run an errand and grab a bite to eat while I was out, as well as a cup of Starbucks. :-)
I did get a call this evening about my truck. Please pray that it would sell soon so that we can take care of getting a new van to replace our current one. I know it sounds trivial, but a smooth transaction would alleviate some stress, and allow us to find a reliable ride.
We talked to Dana, Leslie's sister today, and the girls are doing great. I also talked with Rob, my brother, and McGrooter is also doing well. This gives us real peace.
Come see me for your starbucks needs while I'm at work. :) I can hook you up fo sho!
ResponderEliminarWe praise God for all this good news and continue to watch the blog and pray for Leslie to recover quickly!
ResponderEliminarRemind me to tell you sometimes about the coffee mug I almost bought for you! :-)
Still thinking of you constantly and continuing to pray!The boys pray faithfully for "Mrs. Leslie's tummy to get better". It's curious to me that her "insides" would be motivated to work, when she was completed cleaned out before surgery and has only had liquids since then...perhaps she needs a good meal! :-)
ResponderEliminarPlease give her a big hug from us and know that we're sending all of our love your way. It was a joy to see Micah yesterday at church, and to know that he's loving all the "boy" time he's getting. Davis made sure to remind him that they were Birthday Buddies!
We love you!
Hi, Seth and Leslie!
ResponderEliminarSurely been praying for you guys! Just appreciate how open you are in sharing and does help us to pray specifically for you and children!!! Oh, how encouraging you are for your faithfulness to our faithful Lord! Our prayers and love are there!
Dear Leslie & Seth:
ResponderEliminarThe NFP fellowship lifted praise & prayers for Leslie's successful surgery and healing! I googled you to find your blog, as neither Susan nor Ralph had the address; I will be sure to pass it on through Susan's distribution list so we can all continue to pray specifically for your needs.
Just wanted you to know you are on our hearts & minds; and in our prayers.
In Him,
Kimberly
