Back home today!! (7days post op)

Dear friends,

I am happy to report that Z's recovery has been nothing short of miraculous.
The doctors were so pleased with her progress we were able to discharge today - just 3 days after extubation! Praise the Lord!

Before leaving hospital she was still unable to walk on her own, but within hours of reaching home she's already walking quite quickly by herself I had to stop her in case she fell down!

One of the many things that touched my heart was that Z received reassurance from Jesus again - she told me he hugged her "tight" and according to Z said "I love you" when she was in surgery.
That just moved me to tears as I know our Lord and Saviour was there reassuring and comforting her when she was not able to see, hear or feel human touch.

Our little fighter did so well during the entire hospitalization. Not a single tear during setting of IV plugs, insertion of drains, removal of wires, getting her throat and nose suctioned repeatedly causing her to retch. She took every procedure in her stride and wasn't until after everything was removed and done on the last day, that she wanted lots of cuddles.

Thank you for all your faithful prayers and support
I believe that it is through the prayers of many that have moved the hands of God, so that Z has had such a successful surgery and recovery. As she rests and recuperates at home we continue to give thanks for His faithfulness, for the blessing of such skillful surgeons, caring hospital staff, and so many wonderful people in our life.
We pray for total healing of all her wounds and incisions with no complications, and strengthening of her body so that she may soon join her friends back at school.
I hope Z's testimony will always be an encouragement and blessing to others.
And this is not yet the end of our story :D

God Bless,

Elaine
