They took the heart pump out of Maxine, and they are going to try to see if she can breath on her own tonight.
They say that she is doing well. She is being kind of responsive, but not as much as we would like. She kind of seems like she is in a daze. However, we would be too if we had all kinds of tubes coming out of us, and had just been woken up with a ventilator in.
Praise: That they were able to take the heart pump out and that her heart is pumping on its own.
Praise: They say she is doing really well. This is obviously hard for us to see because she doesn't look like her fantastic put together self.
Prayer: As they slowly take her off the ventilator tonight, please pray that she can make her own breaths. If she is able to, they will take the ventilator completely out. This will allow her to talk.
Prayer: Please pray that her pain will be minimal. I know that it is expected after a surgery like this, for her to be in a lot of pain, but our God can do anything. So, please pray for minimal pain and quick healing.
Prayer: Please pray that God will give her peace during this time. Pray that she is able to rest in the Lord and in His comfort.
Once again, thank you for praying. We love her so much and covet all of your prayers.
God Bless.
Prayers from WA. She is so very dear.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear her heart's pumping on its own - a huge first step! Praying for strong breathing tonight and comfort for you all.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the updates on Maxine's progress. We were her neighbors in Carrollton for many years and think the world of her. Our prayers are with Maxine and her loving family.
