Robin’s Recovery, part 2

Hi everyone! It is about 11:00am on Saturday and I just heard from Ronnie. He has been with her all morning. Robin is still in ICU but only because they are waiting for a bed to open up in the Cardiac ward. She is still groggy but that is to be expected considering the pain medication. Her only complaint about pain has been about the incision in her forearm where they took the blood vessel they used for the bypass.

Ronnie has had a few friends who have experienced this same surgery and he said that the third day after the surgery is usually the worst. Please continue to pray that Robin’s pain will be minimal and that she will recover quickly. Pray that the hospital staff will be attentive to her needs. And, of course, pray for the family - that God will continue to give them added strength.

Praise God for his tender care. God is good all the time - All the time, God is good!

Robin’s Surgery, Friday afternoon

Ronnie just called with the latest update. Robin is now in the ICU. The surgeon said the surgery went well. The first attempt to take her off the breathing apparatus was unsuccessful so they will try again later this evening. The hope is to have her breathing on her own by the end of the day.

Please keep praying that she will recover quickly and that she will not be too uncomfortable.

Thank you all for your prayers. I will update again later tonight.

Robin’s Recovery

It’s 9:30 on Friday night and I just spoke again with Ronnie. Robin is breathing on her own - yeah! She was able to take a few sips of ginger ale and asked about the children. Her color has improved a great deal. She should be out of ICU tomorrow and into a regular room in the Cardiac Unit of the hospital. Praise God! I will update again tomorrow.
