Day 4- Post-Op

Where the Air is Still

We are now at Day 4 post-op and Santi continues to do well! Storm Fay is still battering the area, but everyone is safe. Santi took some steps today with a walker! We are thrilled with his progress….again, the prayers of the saints have borne him up and for this, we are thankful and grateful….

I am re-reading a favorite book called “Climbing” by Rosalind Goforth. If you have never read the Goforth’s story, I urge you to obtain a copy and read it. Mrs. Goforth has written her thoughts in “Climbing” and also in “How I Know God Answers Prayer”. Here is a portion of a poem she includes in the book:

“Call back, and tell that He went with you into the storm;
Call back and say He kept you when the forest’s roots were torn;
That when the heavens thundered and the earthquake shook the hill,
He bore you up and held you where the very air was still.” -Author Unknown

Have you even been where the very air was still? God’s grace carries us there. Today we heard the news of a Christian family who lost their 15 year old son, Kyle, when he was struck by a vehicle while on his bicycle. His brain was damaged severely and he eventually died, but not before his organs went out to four others! His heart will go to a young girl who desperately needed a heart transplant. This is all we know, but I would like to ask you to pray for the family who is deep in grief.

If Santi continues to do well with his walking practice, the doctors may release him to come home on Monday! Please pray for the health of some of the children here at home; we wouldn’t want Santi to contract a cold at all.

Much love to all,
Ana
