"The moment I wake up
Before I put on my makeup
I say a little prayer for you
While combing my hair, now
And wondering what dress to wear now
I say a little prayer for you"
Several weeks ago we found out from a MRI report that Mom's brain was retaining fluid, and some pretty immediate steps needed to be taken in order to relieve the pressure. This coming Tuesday, January 10th, Mom will have a spinal tap in order to try and drain the extra fluid. In the last year Mom's stability, mobility, and overall physical health has declined at an rapid and increased rate. The doctors seem to think that this is because of the fluid build up. The good news is, is there is potential for this procedure to REALLY help!
We are asking that first and foremost you pray for Mom's protection during the procedure. Second, that the doctor will have a steady and precise hand. Third, that Mom's heart and mind would be stilled with an overwhelming sense of peace. And fourth, that this procedure would in some way, shape, or form allow Mom to regain some stability and mobility.
In order to keep from stirring up anxiety in Mom, please don't mention it to her unless she initiates conversation regarding this issue.
Your continued support and encouragement for our family is so much appreciated.
If at any time you have further questions, please don't hesitate to send any of us siblings a personal message.
Many have asked, "what can we do?", and as simple as it may sound we just ask that you pray for us, that you engage in continued relationship with our parents, that you come along side of us and walk through this valley WITH us.
We firmly lay all of our hope at the feet of our Savior, whom is ALWAYS faithful to us, whom is ALWAYS good to us, and whom desires to capture our hearts with His forever and perfect love!
Thank you friends,
~Sara
