After family dinner this evening, we talked about flowers and weeds for the week. A huge flower for the week was the success of the surgery and the amazing healing that my Dad has experienced thus far. We thought that he had been stellar coming out of his first surgery, but this time he was walking around earlier, pushing Ben around in a wheelchair earlier (yep, you read that right), and he was discharged from the hospital earlier. It is so cool to see my Dad doing so well - what an amazing answer to prayer! My Mom is also thankful that my Dad greeted her post-surgery with the words "An angel!" instead of the words he used the first time: "Who are you?"
My Dad shared tonight how neat those first words out of his mouth actually are. He said that right before he was taken into surgery, he was thinking of things to say to my Mom and decided to say something about angels. But he didn't actually expect that he would remember what he had planned to say in his post-surgery, post-anaesthesia state. So the fact that he remembered what he had planned is a testament to how well my Dad has been doing post-surgery.
We ask that you continue to pray for healing, for bold courage, and for a miracle. We also ask that you pray for strength and comfort for my parents as they "start fresh" with the healing process. Life had gotten into a bit of a normal rhythm for them and surgery throws that upside-down, with my Dad being unable to drive, run errands, and do as much around the house as he has been doing. So we would love for you to pray for peace and comfort for them as they adjust to a different daily routine for the next few months.
Thank you so much for all of your prayers - we feel them on a daily basis!
- Tara
