Day +76 & 77, Prayer

"He knows the way that I take,  when He has tested

me, I will come forth as gold."  

Job 23:10

Slow but sure progress has been the path for the last 10 days, however new pain has arisen,  uncertainty of its cause and many more tests and scans .  Yesterday, Clif was having terrible pain in his entire abdominal area, a procedure was performed by needle to remove fluids that were building up (3+ liters).  One of the complications for the last 6 weeks has been an irregularly large and distended abdomen.  

An ECCO was performed, CAT scan, Ultrasound and X-rays yesterday.  

Something I failed to mention on the last blog was that Clif was intubated when readmitted to ICU back on July 5th.  Fortunately, his kidneys have been strong and no dialysis was required.  July 11th, the intubation was removed! , the next day he asked for a bagel with peanut butter &  jelly and a piece of turkey on top, yes this is something he likes.  Although, unable to give this, we took babysteps and introduced popsicles and ice chips.  Slow progress was continueing.

So today, we wait expectantly on The Lord to reveal and prayerfully heal.  The next couple of days I am asking for very specific prayer;  to determine the cause of pain and to relieve it!  for all internal unknowns to be revealed & treatable and for continued forward progress.  

“Trust in Him at all times, you people;

Pour out your heart before Him;

God is a refuge for us.

PSALM 62 : 8 (NKJV)”
