Big Victory! WooHoo!!!

Get our your best Southern Baptist accent for a great big THANK YA JeeZus!!!!

Dr. Tran (pulmonologist) was able to remove a LOT of mucus from her lungs, which will let her breathe. I will be honest, if they could not do that, we would have no choice but to honor her wishes and let her come home on Hospice to say goodbye. It was that bad. Her lungs and the tube in her nose were so miserable that she had to be sedated with medication that made her essentially incoherent. We have never had a more heartbreaking 24 hours in our lives.

So we are up and over a MAJOR hurdle! Next step is to get her bowel to work. Until both her lungs and bowel are functioning on their own and she is healed from surgery, Dr. Park cannot start chemo, so we are in a race to get her body better before the cancer gets worse. So keep praying because it is working! We have a long way to go, but right now it at least looks like we are moving in the right direction!

She will still have a very sore throat for a few days, so i will let you know when she is ready to talk on the phone. She may even call out if she feels up to it, and again, if she calls out try to do a lot of the talking and keep it short, save her from herself please!

One of the big things we need to fix is the despondency she was in, so IF she continues to do well we MIGHT be able to get a few of you in for very short visits. Again, what she is like in the morning is not always the story in the afternoon (it has been a real roller-coaster ride) so I am reluctant to make promises, but if you want to visist, please call me and I can let you know how that might work, or not.

Thanks again, y'all must be really good at prayer, because something is working!
