UPDATE ON SISTER

There are times in each of our lives that rain falls, hard times come and it helps to reach out to our friends and to our God for a little support. This is the place to express those needs, concerns and situations so others in the AAPK family can keep you in their prayers.

UPDATE ON SISTER

Post by Quick Steel »

My sister Bev remains being treated at UofK Medical Center. She recently passed a lot of blood the cause of which could not be determined by the doctors who examined her. Consequently, she will have a colonoscopy on Monday. I have no doubt at all that your prayers have been a source of grace and support.

My sister continues to make progress. Nothing was found during an exploratory procedure. Any internal bruising has healed. Basically, she is out of any serious danger. Chronic pain will continue for a while; it is managed with medication which she wants to get off of as quickly as possible. Other than that her physical and mental therapy will continue for some weeks.

Bev has repeatedly asked me to express her gratitude to all my fellow AAPKers for their powerful prayer support. I join her in that gratitude.

I took Bev out to lunch yesterday. She walks better than I do now. I hope to have her home soon.

I cannot express our thanks too often to all of you for your prayer support. I believe that her accident was a diabolic attempt to eliminate her because of all the good she does for our Father's lost sheep. It is truly amazing that Bev survived. The Jaws of Life had to be used to extract her from the vehicle followed by a helicopter flight to UofK.

So now it is just a matter of time and not a long time when she will be back at 100%.

Like Oscar said, "This is great news."
Plus, we must thank the Lord for directing the hands of all the folks involved in her recovery.

Garry I can't believe I haven't already read this. May our Father be glorified and may Bev be lifted up as a testimony of His greatness. I pray her continued healing will be rapid. God bless.
