And He said unto me, "My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me."
2 Corinthians 12:9

A Day of Worship

Sunday in the ICU was a day of worship for us.  After a night to forget, Princess' heart eventually did begin to calm down at a steady heart beat of 179 and eventually coming down this morning and staying at 120 for most of today.  She is still incredibly groggy and sedated and will be for the next two or three days.  This is just due to the amount of sedation that was required to get her to stop seizing.

Coming out of sedation, she is definitely noticing that she is intubated and it is becoming more of a nuisance to her.  We are hopeful tomorrow that she will be more responsive and therefore could look at being extubated at some point.  We will need to make sure that she is able to breathe effectively on her own and then will need to do a swallow test to make sure that she could tolerate liquids.

Our highlight today was that she was able to show me her beautiful green eyes and we shared some tears.  Worship for us included playing a selection of songs that have become meaningful for us through this journey.  What a day to worship together!  With all that Princess has endured for a full week, it was good to come before the Lord and sing.  I would sing along with the song to her and she was singing in her mind.  Tears poured as we sang of Heaven, God's healing, God's amazing love, and the power of His mighty name.  Worshiping in the middle of a storm is challenging, yet when we call upon His name, He is faithful to hear us!  Draw near to Him, and He will draw near to you.  Bless the Lord at ALL times!

I look forward to tomorrow's update and I pray that Princess will have a restful night.

Please pray:

  • Princess will get some good rest
  • Princess has been diagnosed with pneumonia and is currently being treated for this. Pray that it would clear quickly
  • Pray that the sedatives will quickly wear off and that Princess will be able to respond to certain commands and tasks
