Praise the Lord

Hello,

I have good news for you today. Papa ate lunch and diner yesterday and kept it all down. He is on the upswing from the surgery. He is gaining his energy back and is extremely happy about that. He is very grateful for all of the prayers that you are all lifting up to our great God. Today he goes to Physical Therapy and it probably will be painful so just pray that he will be able to handle it and not get to weak. I hope you all have a wonderful and blessed day.

In Christ,

Pray for Papa

Hello,

Papa isn't doing very well. He hasn't been able to keep any food down and he is getting extremely week. Mom is going to call the Dr. this afternoon. They changed his pain meds because they thought that is what was making him vomit but we don't know because he is still vomiting with the new medicine. Just keep praying. He has lost some weight and is just very, very tired. He has had two really good nights of sleep. That is a good thing. It's not that he is in so much pain but just so week from not eating anything that he can barely get out of bed. He doesn't want to have to go back to the hospital but if he keeps going like this he may have to go and get a IV put back in to keep him hydrated. Just keep him lifted up in your prayers. Thank you all for following and just praying for him.

In Christ,

Finally Home

Hello,

I just wanted to let all of you know that Papa is home and out of the hospital. He is doing well. He isn't eating all that much and is still and little nauseated when he gets up to use the restroom. He is taking high pain meds and will be on them for at least a couple weeks. He came home Sunday afternoon and has been sleeping a lot. It is nice to be home in your own bed. He probably feels a ton better now then he did at the hospital. His knee is very sore from all of the moving of the bones they did. He will have to have two more surgery's in the future, one for the nerve and the other one for the bone. I don't really know when these ones will be but the Dr. said future. He really didn't describe. I will keep updating on him on my blog. I hope you all have a blessed day.

In Recovery

Hello,

I just wanted to let all of you know that Papa is out of surgery and is doing well. He is highly on pain meds right now so he isn't fully awake. His incision is about 20 inches long and then there are just a few other little ones that are only a couple inches long. I haven't really heard much except that he is out of surgery. When he wakes up and is a little responsive the Dr. will see if he can flex his foot and if he can that means that the nerve didn't get damaged during the surgery. Just continue to pray for him that you would give him patience during this rough time. That you would just give my mom comfort and that neither of them would be nervous. I just continue to pray for Papa that the Lord would just guide this whole season. Lord, Please heal Papa's leg Lord just please. Have a great week and I will post more when I hear more from my Mom. Have a blessed night.

In Christ,
Brittany

Headed to the Hospital

Hello,

I just wanted to let you know that Papa is headed to the hospital. He just left at about 7:20 and his surgery will start somewhere around 10:30 or so. Please be praying. The hard part of the surgery is between 10:30 and 1:00. He will be on high pain meds and will stay the night at the hospital tonight and not sure how long he will stay tomorrow. Pray for my mom, she is very nervous. She is gong to stay at the hospital with Papa and keep him comforted. She will read him scripture when he wakes up and will pray with him. Just continue to pray for him as he is also extremely nervous. I will be updating every couple of days on my blog. I hope you have a wonderful day and just pray for our family as we are growing closer.

In Christ,

Have a Happy Countenance

This morning I was reading Proverbs 15 and I liked the 13 verse in the chapter. It says, "A merry heart makes a cheerful countenance, But by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken." Proverbs 15:13 I know that it is hard to always have a merry heart even when you are upset or something like that. But the Lord says that we need to have a cheerful countenance and that is what we need to listen to. When we don't have a cheerful heart we have sorrow of the heart and then our spirit is broken which we don't want that. That isn't a good thing to do. Let's purpose to have a cheerful countenance and not a sorrowful heart. That isn't a very good thing to have. Just remember that this is the day that the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it. I hope you have a wonderful day.

No Posting for a Couple of Days

Hello,

I won't be posting for a couple of days. I am going to VA for a little vacation with the Tsantles. We are leaving today and will be back on Saturday. We will still see all of you at church. Have a blessed week and just continue to pray for Papa as he has physical therapy today. He has it a lot in the next month or two. That is about what is going on here. See you all on sSunday.

In Christ,

Update of Papa

Hello,

Today Papa goes to the Physical Therapist for physical therapy. It will be painful so please pray that it won't be painful. His surgery is scheduled on the 18th of this month and I don't quite know how long recovery will be. He has just been resting for the passed week and a half. He isn't in pain unless his back starts to hurt because he can't get up. We have all been praying for him and I would just ask that you would please keep him in your prayers. I will be posting updates every couple of days so that everybody knows what is going on with him. Thank you for your prayers and everything that you are all doing for him. I hope you have a wonderful day.

In Christ,

Take Wisdom, Get Understanding

This morning I was reading Proverbs 4. This is a chapter of wisdom. One of the verses that caught my eye are verse 7. It says, " Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting get understanding."(Proverbs 4:7) We need to take wisdom and we need to understand and think about it. When you are having a good day with taking wisdom and then you don't take it the next day we need to think about that. It is really a difficult think to do at the moment. I know it is for me. I don't always take it in the moment but in my heart I want to take it. When you take wisdom and don't give an excuse then you will get understanding and you will understand that hear of the Lord. let's work on that together. I think we can all work on that personally, it is going to be harder for some people but not as hard for other people. I hope you have a great day.

In Christ,

Pray for Papa

Hello,

You can be praying for Papa (Ron) because on Sunday we were playing football in the snow and he started running for the touchdown and he fell someone landed on top of him and he dislocated his knee. He went to the hospital on Sunday night at 6:00. He tore a ligament and has to have surgery for the surgeon to repair it. It is going to be quite a long recovery for him. There will be a lot of physical therapy and really learning how to walk all over again. The hospital said that this is a very dangerous and uncommon thing. When this happens you usually damage blood vessels but Papa didn't do that which is a good thing because he could have been bleeding internally and could have really gotten sick. Keep us in your prayers. He is going to be home for a while and is going to be going into surgery next week some time. He got home safe and has a wheel chair and a walker for getting around. Pray for our family and I will keep you updated on what happens. He is at the orthopedic surgeons office right know.

In Christ,
Brittany
