Emily is doing SO much better today. Her feeding tube was left open to drain and she doesn't seem to be bleeding any more. The pain she has been experiencing has also diminished. She has been having so much pain lately it's difficult to say what starts it and what is helping. Now that the bleed has stopped I have to wonder if she was having more pain from that and not so much from the kidney stone (which I know does hurt her some). The goal now is to give her tummy a rest and try food again in a day or two. She has started on a couple of new medicines and one old one has been discontinued.
The view from her bedroom window is so beautiful. I can see Commencement Bay, and even the Olympic mountains. The day is sunny and the sky blue. What a nice day for recovery! I didn't sleep well last night, the chair in the room that makes into a bed of sorts was just awful. I could feel the separation in the cushions and woke up with a headache. I'm praying for a more comfortable night.
As you pray for Emily please remember LF in your prayers. She is recovering from hip surgery. Our friend Luke also needs prayer for better health.
Have any of you listened to the Experience Bible? I received mine for Mother's Day. It is a wonderful dramatization of the entire Bible, mostly by famous actors. The dramatization is on several disks which I installed on my iPod. Its neat to be able to carry it with me, or listen while I am resting.
Again, thank you for continued prayer.

I think I know the exact view you are talking about, some of the views from the hospital rooms are absolutely gorgeous! I'm glad to hear that Emily is feeling a bit better, I continue to pray for a complete touch from God. I hope to be able to get up there to see y'all tomorrow, I will call and let you know for sure.

Sorry I am just now getting to your updates on Emily. I'll be praying for complete recovery and that you all can find out exactly what was bothering her. Poor baby with the extra seizures. : (
We've found that in most hospitals there are 2 kinds of chairs - good ones and bad ones. We try to "shop" the empty rooms to find a good one when the nurses give us permission. If we get stuck with a bad one, I ask for lots of pillows and blankets and layer them on the chair until I can stand it. I am so the "princess and the pea" with beds. : )
Praying for you,

Draven loves going to church and his Awanas club. He and Tiffany are doing a daily devotional that takes them through the bible in a year, I believe it is. I was wondering if you think Draven (11 yrs old) might enjoy the Experience Bible? Since you've listened to it a bit now, do you think because it is "dramatized" it would help in his understanding of what is going on?
