Update July 4
Hi this will be a very brief update as I am writing it very late. Today was positive- no morphine virtually all day. Slept most of the day, which may be because of some medication to help her sleep last night, and or simply the prayers that went out after the morning update for healing sleep. Whatever it was, she was knocked out much of the day.
Went for some walks including down the hall to see Nico. Also had visitors for twenty min or so, but that really tired her out.
The main thing is the ent doctor doesn't expect the esophagus to be healed, and expects to have to go in and sew up the tear, once they determine if and where it is on Friday. That isn't an outcome any of us want- another surgery- but if that's what heals her, then we do. They couldn't do this earlier because the tissue was inflamed. I think the thoracic surgeon may be a bit more hopeful.
While she was sleeping today, well let us just pray her body was working overtime to heal her esophagus. Similar to Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego- our God is able to save us from this, but even if He does not, we will still praise Him.
Prayers for sleep and the quietness of the hallway were answered
The lady who was screaming is gone. I don't know where, but hopefully that is an answer to our prayers as well.
Please pray for her throat to be fully healed by the time of the swallow test, thurs or Friday.
