Patty is still resting at St. Vincent's and will stay another night. She had a few more tests done today after a not-so-restful night, and we were pleased that her brain scan came back all clear. The docs are closely monitoring her white blood cell count and calorie intake and trying to keep her as hydrated as possible. Hopefully she can kick the stomach pain she's currently battling and head home in the morning. Her grandchildren are awfully jealous of her all-ice cream diet right now.
Thank you so much for everyone's thoughts and prayers. Patty has enjoyed reading your comments through the blog, and we'll continue to do our best to keep everyone updated.
Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
Isaiah 40: 30-31

ReplyDeleteI had my bible study pray for you this morning Patty! We are thinking about you and praying for your recovery and the healing process. Susanne O'Neal
ReplyDeleteWhen I was on a similar journey with children near and far we claimed this verse:
ReplyDelete"Have I not COMMANDED you! Be strong and of good courage. Do not fear or be
afraid for the Lord, YOUR God, is with you WHEREVER you go!" Joshua 1:9
and my life verse........ "Let us run with ENDURANCE the race set before us, fixing
our eyes on JESUS." Hebrews 12:1-2
Some races are a sprint and others a marathon........We will be praying that your
healing will be miraculously quick.
Patty - Thinking of you and all the Baker clan and hoping the healing process starts very soon. Jane Jones
