If you’ve ever walked this path, or currently are, you may have a hard time expressing how you’re dealing with it. This song that my brother sent me after a conversation I shared with him about my struggle in this, absolutely 💯 expresses the wrestling that occurs…

God is our everything in this! He’s our hope and our sounding board of all our frustrations!

Sometimes, frankly, those convos with God are ugly.

But where else can we go. He has the words of life!

(“Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life,” John 6:68)

Thankful that we have access to OUR FATHER in heaven.

Reminded, he’s for us, with us, and in us!!! He is the Creator of the Universe!

He’s got this!!!! No matter what!!!

***Update ***

To all our friends. The woman you are praying for is a warrior!!! Thank you, and these are the things that have happened over the last day. We are eternally grateful to you all for your prayers.

So the transfusion has been done and her hemoglobin numbers, though still low are way above what they were and no longer critical.

Michal’s hemoglobin has always been low. We’re closer to normal than where we were.

She had a stent put in to reduce swelling. It worked as hoped opening the highway in the blood stream to keep fluids in the veins and to the heart to be processed normally, instead of being forced out of the veins into the flesh, which was causing the swelling.

One concern is the doctors can’t say how much her liver issues (due to tumors) are also causing swelling. Praying the stent fixes the issue, and the liver wasn’t contributing.

However! We’ve noticed better freedom of movement that had been restricted by swelling this morning!!!

Win, win!!!

She also has been able to get out of bed and walk with a walker, so moving in a positive direction.

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

So when you can’t go to your granddaughters first dance recital what to do…?

A friend presented us with flat Mimi to attend! And along with FaceTime it’ll be like Mimi was there!

Flat Mimi parts in the shopping cart are a bit disconcerting.

So y’all were still in hospital.

Michal needs a transfusion as her hemoglobin is critically low, that’s happening now.

We wanted personally donated blood, but wasn’t enough time and that’s a whole process that is a bit ridiculous.

Anyway…

Prayers for the transfusion and her strength returning.

So your prayers have been powerfully felt today. Struggling but feeling better. Body looking way better!!! Fluid staying off for now.

God heard y’all fer sure!!!!

Big hugs and thanks!!!!

Another hospital visit. This one for swelling that won’t relent in Michal’s abdomen and legs. Small procedure to relieve the current issue will be done at noon.

Last year Michal and the grankids planted these wild flowers. They did nothing.

This year they are blooming wildly!!!!

And they’re beautiful!

And Michal this year is going to bloom!!!

After a good day of rest we took an evening jaunt out to La Jolla to check out Seals and Pelicans.

God is a beautiful designer! And the most beautiful of his creations, as biased as I am, is the lady I’m with in these pictures!
