Last night I found out that the surgery my grandmother had yesterday morning to check for blockages in her heart and to evaluate a valve, turned up some disturbing news. The doctor advised her not to leave the hospital, that doing so would take her life in her own hands and that she may have a heart attack if she went home without further surgery.
My grandmother is having another surgery tomorrow, one that she thought she may get to go home and think about whether she would choose to have it. She did not plan on staying in the hospital and she did not plan on being told the information she heard yesterday. The surgery has better odds that she will make it through, but there is still a disturbingly large chance that she may not.
I am in constant prayer on her behalf right now, as well as on the behalf of my grandfather who is still at home because he is in such great pain and mostly unable to even leave the bed. We still aren’t sure if he will be able to ride the 2 hours in a car to the hospital she is in to see her before her surgery tomorrow. My heart breaks for both of them.
These are my dad’s parents and I am begging you to pray for their healing and well-being {i.e. to be pain free}. I humbly ask this of you and greatly appreciate any prayers lifted up on their behalf.

ReplyDeleteGod, thank you now for your son Jesus. Thank you that you've given us the opportunity to approach your throne and pour out ourselves, our cares and concerns to you, trusting you will hear us and move on our behalf. Move now by your spirit for Stephanie's grandmother. You know every detail and the outcome. Touch the dr.'s, nurses, anesthesiologists, any and everyone involved in her surgery. Be in the operating room with her as her life is in YOUR hands.

In Jesus' name, Amen.
