Grandma is smiling and laughing between naps

Hi Friends,

We’re back in the hospital room with my mom. I haven’t talked to the surgeon or his staff, but he felt that she was stable enough to come back to her room rather than go to ICU for her first night post surgery.

She is paying attention to everything going on around her, has verbally appreciated Word Girl’s power to entertain her grandsons, and otherwise has been alternating between trying to get in a comfortable position (with the nurses help she seems well adjusted now), smiling and laughing a bit, talking, and easily drifting off to a light sleep.

We’re still praying, praying, and praying some more, appreciating the abundant support of family and friends (who are family), and the excellent staff at this hospital.

    We are so relieved and happy to get this report. We had the Feast in Mahomet today at 1pm. Tell your mom that Karen Hendricks prayed for her as soon as she came for the Feast. We then prayed for her at the beginning of devotions, and the closing prayer was the women’s prayer for healing in her honor. We love her, we are with you all during this time.
    Love and Prayers,
    Karen and Bob
