Psalm 77 – Emily Update
We have been very encouraged by several different things
this week, and have heard some good reports from the nurses caring for her.While we obviously wish that things would happen faster
we are daily reminded of God’s presence and grace.Her new cardiologist stopped by her room Wednesday evening
to tell us that based on her last echo
Emily’s heart is completely healed.In his words her current condition is “a miracle.”
It has been an incredible experience to see God show
again and again that He can do more than any human doctor can,
and we rest in the knowledge that the God that redeemed Emily’s soul
can if he chooses also heal her physical body.We are constantly mindful of the words of Psalm 77,
“You are the God who performs miracles…”
and we pray that there are many more to be performed in Emily’s life.Every time a nurse or a doctor comes into Emily’s room
and we are there one of the first things they comment on
is the amazing support Emily has had since her arrival.We as a family can’t thank everyone enough for the prayers,
messages, cards, gifts, and visits – -
and the staff can’t get over how much Emily is loved.And on our end it has been a great privilege to meet
many wonderful nurses, doctors and therapists
who are fully committed to helping Emily.In closing I just want to note that while my parents have asked me
to handle all of the updates on this site
they do read all of the messages and are always touched
and encouraged to hear of your concern for Emily and our family.We don’t respond to them unless there is a direct question
but we do read them so thank you to everyone who has posted!
