Jaynee was able to sleep about half of the night, so she did get some rest. She has a new kind of pain that anybody who has ever had abdominal surgery can understand...trapped air. She can't seem to get it out and it causes great pain.
On the good side, her color has greatly improved after receiving the 3 units of blood, and her blood pressure seems much more stable. If I remember correctly, her blood pressure was about 70 over 40. I don't understand those numbers but maybe some of you do. Thank you so much for the prayers through the night. I've talked to the kids and Hna Tola (the babysitter) and things appear to semi-normal at home... :-) whatever semi- normal is with 12 kids :-). I'll try to keep the blog updated throughout the day on any progress.
A special thank you to my mother in law, Becky Smith, my mom, sister in law Amber Lockwood, and several different pastors who have all been a special encouragement. Also Jaynee's Uncle Ron who made me laugh last night for the first time. Thank you so much to each and every one of you who have prayed, it is so comforting to know so many Christians around the world are praying for my wife. What a blessing!
Oh and yes, she did finally get her pain medicine. Although she still hurts badly, it did take the edge off.
thank you for the update, looked several times this morning!! praise the Lord Jaynee is moving forward with color, stable rates and you even got to laugh!!

This is good news. Praise the Lord she is healing. We will continue praying. Thanks so much for the updates.
ReplyDeleteOn our knees in prayer for you and your family in Sulphur La.
ReplyDeleteStill praying here in Alaska. Many friends have joined in prayer, too!!
ReplyDeletePraise the Lord that she is doing better! We pray that Jaynee will heal quickly and with no complications! We'll keep praying for you and her at the hospital for your children and Hna Tola at home; may you both get to be back with them soon!
ReplyDeleteGlory be to God. It is wonderful to hear Jaynee is doing better. I asked my Womens bible study group to pray this morning and I will add her to the church prayer chain. What a mighty God we have, thank you Jesus for all you have done for this family.
ReplyDeleteI am just now reading all of this and my heart is breaking. Prayers for healing for both Jaynee's body and her spirit.
ReplyDeleteI know this may sound absolutely crazy but I have had 3 csections and when I had the pain from trapped gas/air in the abdomin they told me to try to get on all fours and lower my head/chest to the floor while keeping my bottom up in air and it will help naturally move the gas out. It may take a few times of manuvering like this but it does work. Of course that is if she is strong enough to do this.
ReplyDeleteI pray for a speedy recovery for her and peace for you!!
