SANDY'S CONDITION UPDATE Sun. 12/7

Sunday- what a difference a day makes!! Sandy woke up with a TO DO List for Tasha! They got lots done today before Tasha headed back to Chicago tonight.

Surgery is postponed until Tuesday or Wednesday. Pray for Sandy and the girls as they won't be together for a while!!

Saturday was a tough day for Sandy and Tasha. She did not recognize Tasha and only knew who Carol was after some coaxing. She was running a fever around 102 and was very confused when talking.

Monday is a critical day. Sandy is supposed to have surgery on her thumb but with a fever, Tasha was not sure what would happen. Going under anesthesia is risky for someone with brain injury. The doctor warned the girls that the days following surgery will be difficult. Sandy may be even more confused and difficult to wake up than when the accident first happened.

The girls see God's care in little ways every day. Kind words from an aide or an attentive nurse that takes action when it is needed, mean so much.

It is clear that the road to recovery will be long and hard for Sandy. She is beginning to understand that fact. On Friday Sandy prayed that God would give her JOY in the midst of all her struggles. What a great example to all of us!! I pray that we would all find the faith to ask for JOY each day in the midst of whatever mess we find ourselves!!!

We give thanks for the Hospitality House. They are offering a place to rest and be safe for the girls. I cried when I watched the video. I am glad they care so much!!
