Bouncing Back

Our little Superball of a girl has bounced back amazingly. We took her off the oxgygen last night and watched her sleep with sats of 98, even as her heart rate dropped into the 80s. She has continued to be strong today, and is back to her happy self. She's slept a bit more than usual tonight, but she awoke both of us with a big messy diaper that required a complete bedding change at 5am.

I visited Luke's site last night (www.howsluke.blogspot.com) to see how he is doing, as he is currently fighting something respiratory as well..please pray for him. His mom, Sue has posted a prayer request for a little girl named Gabby, saying only a miracle will save her at this point. Of course, I then went to Gabby's site, www.gabbysmiracle.blogspot.com to read about her courageous fight against a virulent, inoperable brain tumor. Please go visit and pray for her and her family. I want to share something her family wrote that encouraged me to remember with gladness and comfort just Who we are depending upon.

"This situation is not over yet, for we serve Jehovah Rophe, the Lord our Healer. He is my strong tower, He makes the hills shake, the mountains melt and the heavens bow. His love has no limits, His grace has no measure, His power has no boundries known unto man. He is my shield, my defender, my rock and refuge and He hides me under the shadow of His wings. He was the Ancient of days before the first day began, He was the rock of ages before any mountain peaks were formed and He was the lily of the valley before there were any flowers on earth.

Let me tell you about His voice, His voice is powerful upon the waters, full of majesty, like thunder, it breaks the cedars, sets the mountains in their place and it stills the sea. His voice shook the earth and melted the hills. He spoke and the heavens unrolled themselves and the galaxies were born... violets cast their fragrance, the birds began to sing... colors wove themselves into a rainbow. He spoke and a handful of dust became a living soul. He spoke and calmed the storm, He spoke and gave life to the dead, brought healing to the sick, strength to the weak and cleansing to the leper. He spoke and brought hearing to the deaf and sight to the blind.

Sickness could not withstand Him, Devils could not stay near Him and the waves could not drown Him. Death could not corrupt Him, hell could not keep Him and the grave could not contain Him. God has highly exalted Him and given Him a Name above every other name even the name of cancer. He is mighty in battle and He is the Lion of Judah..... His name is Jesus."
