Friday, August 19th

Mama had a rough morning and afternoon of being sick and not feeling well. It continues to be the same issues. Doctors ordered an x-ray to see if there is air/gas trapped inside. They said IF there is air trapped, then they could either put a tube down her nose or in her side to decompress the trapped air. IF a tube was to be put in, they thought it wouldn’t be until Monday. Of course, neither of those choices sounds like any fun. So far, we haven’t heard anything regarding the results of the x-ray.

She doesn’t have much of an appetite and not much success of keeping anything down, so we are disappointed her progress in eating made yesterday didn’t continue today. Later in the afternoon, Mama did feel good enough to go for a wheelchair ride outside to get some fresh air. This evening, she is doing a little better. Hopefully she is now turning a corner.

Through phone calls and prayer we have received encouragement today. We are watching for waiting for God’s hand of mercy on her body and know He is faithful. We know heaven has been bombarded by prayers on Mama’s behalf. Thank you so much for your continued prayers. We appreciate each and every one.

With love,

Carmen & family

Dear Family:
Watch and pray. Look for a glimpse
of the working of the almighty. It
might be on the inside, like the
stomach starting to work. It may be something you see in the sky or
a word from God spoken through
another person or God Himself may
speak in a small, still voice to you.Watch intently, watch expecting
God to manifest Himself to you.
Listen for God to give comfort.
He will not forever hold back. He
glories in observing the faith of
those going through trials and testing. There are examples in God's word where He did special
things so that His servants would
have the courage and faith to face
unbelievable odds and triump. Wait
I say, wait expectently on God.
We love you people dearly and know
how hard it is to see a loved one suffer. Watch and pray! in His
time He will answer. Love Dino
