Update - Monday
Hi all, Ross again. Last night Ramey did amazingly well. They're quick to tell me that she's still not out of the woods, but they are pleased that she's responding well. After about 30 minutes of sleep last night, I got a call from Linda, who was staying with Mandy. She told me to come to St Josephs quickly because Mandy was in the ICU and was about to go into emergency surgery. She was in surgery about 3 1/2 hours and her doctor, when finished, came out to tell me that Mandy had a blood clot consisting of 2 liters of blood in her bladder. (Think about a 2-Liter of Coke in your bladder) It was so big that there was no way they could get it out, so in surgery, the doctor cut it into little pieces and removed it one piece at a time. She is much better and they're even hoping to get Mandy up and walking this afternoon. So we had another scare and another miracle...

I am a friend of Elizabeth's and am so touched by your postings. Sending prayers your way.
Ross,
Thank you for sharing your heart, and the details of the journey. Each time I think of you, the burden that comes most to mind is how spread across the city your family is, and how very hard it must be to find your rest knowing that you can't physically be an all those places. My prayer has been that no matter where you are, the Lord will give you His peace and assurance that He's covering those places you can't be, and that He's got them firmly in His grip. I pray that your rest, though brief & intermittent, would be deep, and refreshing. You are going through the fire, and already I can see the refined gold shining in you as you walk in faith.
Our God is able...
In Him,
Cathy Letkeman
