Sunday Night

WOW, WOW, WOW! That about sums up Molly's day! The VENT is gone! She is breathing completely on her own and when I left the oxygen being given her was only through a nasal canula at only 2liters, which is awesome and her vitals are great!!!!!!! Praise God for all the healing he has done in the past weeks and especially in the past few days. She is wide awake and still unable to tak due to the tube being down her throat for nearly 2 weeks, but she can whisper a little and said she was very confused so I sat down and explained everything to her about her illness, the ARDS, the compartment syndrome in her legs, how sick she really was, her plane ride, how Dr. Hawley, Nurses and Doc's at Good Sam and especially Troy saved her life. This all surprised her ans was a lot to take in, but she understood. I also told her how many people all over the world are praying for her. At my last count we have the phillipines, china, indonesia, south africa, ireland, canada, england praying abroad, and nearly every state in the usa. This made her smile and a little teary! I also told her that I was going to go home tomorrow and she said it was OK, I also told her now that she is ready to start talking I needed to get away, she just smiled and rolled her eyes. Since I do that to her all the time, I guess its ok for her to roll her eyes at me! With all this wonderful news we still have HUGE prayer needs. Tomorrow is the "MOMBO" rounds were every discipline, nurses, docs, therapists etc. make rounds and will take a look at Molly's legs and start to make some preliminary decisions about the best course of action with them. SPECIFICALLY: Her legs have been ravaged by the toxins and have been debreeded 2 times. During each debreedment they had to remove a substantial amount of muscle in her calves. Bottomline: Prayer is needed to ask for healing so her legs can be saved. Other prayer needs: Travel mercies for me as I will be heading home after the big rounds tomorrow and back on Tuesday. Travel mercies for my Mom & Dad as the are coming up to stay with Molly while I am gone. Continued recovery and healing of her lungs, liver and kidneys. Also, as Molly continues to get her thoughts around what has happened to her and the long road of recovery and rehab ahead of her, she will need a lot of love, prayer and thoughts to keep her spirits up. The doctor told me to expect anger, confusion, depression, etc. as she comes to terms with all this. God Bless you all for your continued prayer, I have seen amazing answered prayer already and I know that Molly's recover will be whole eventually, but we all need to keep praying and giving thanks for what God has already done for her and I. I will update again tomorrow about the results of the rounds.
