Mom’s Miracle

This evening we are praising the Lord because nothing grew on Mom’s culture that was done on her chest abscess. Mom is infection free! Yet again, the Lord showed up and proved the doctors WRONG.

Unfortunately, this is not the end of Mom’s issues. As best I can explain it, Mom has a hole in the tissue of her chest under her skin that didn’t properly heal. Dr. Bansal believes surgery is now necessary to fix this issue. Without it, the risk of infection is too high and almost certainly life threatening. An infection of this kind, would also guarantee that Mom wouldn’t receive a transplant.

So...on Wednesday Dr. Bansal will open Mom’s chest and do a muscle graft and skin graft to close the hole. Basically, what he would do is stretch the muscle from her stomach into the hole and make an extra layer of protection to ensure the heart and pump don’t get infected. This idea is scary and overwhelming for Mom. She’s just gotten to the point where she’s gained a little more independence and having her chest opened again will set her recovery back some. Please pray for her to feel encouraged and that the Lord will give her the confidence to push through yet another major surgery.

We will never know why Mom has had so many complications, BUT we do know who is continuing to carry her through this journey. The light of Jesus has never been brighter in our life’s. His work is evident and bright. He is continuing to show the world what he is capable of through Mom. We are so thankful for all of you who have been our prayer warriors. You have played a crucial part in her recovery and we are blessed to have so many people caring and praying. When there was no hope, you believed with us... and when there was nothing left to do, you prayed with us. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. This journey is far from over, so please continue to join our family in praying and believing in Mom’s miracle.
