I'm home now, but I saw her in the ICU before I left. It seemed like she was still in tons of pain and still very nauseous, but her color was back. We talked to Dr. Black, and he seems like he is so attentive and wonderful (I kinda love him). She held my hand and opened her eyelids a little bit to look at me. We told her how much everyone was asking about and praying for her.
They're doing frequent checks on her blood clot, which is in one of the veins in her brain. Dr. Black said that it was small enough not to be too worried about, but that they put her in ICU to make sure it doesn't become any larger and worrisome.
So, please keep praying for her nausea and her pain! We'll keep you posted tomorrow!

Thanks for the update. It really is a hard feeling being put under. You are aware of your surroundings and you want to say everything that is in your mind but it's really hard. I remember my first surgery for cancer as they were waking me up I found myself talking about Disneyland and making no sense. I knew it but couldnt stop myself, It's a crazy feeling that will get better. Being nauseous unfortunately was sometime I felt the first time and it's pretty draining. Once Trenna begins to feel better and not so nauseous it will be better. I am sure they are giving her medicine for it. It sounds like a good sign that she opened her
ReplyDeleteeyes and looked at you. Trenna is a very strong Godly women who is a fighter. I
am so thankful that this first surgery is over. We will continue praying. Love Fran
please give her our love from texas. she has people across practically ALL timezones praying for her. so much love for that special woman. hope she feels better today!

ReplyDeletepraying for you each, especially dear trenna....
ReplyDeleteread this this morning and these verses stuck out to me for your family. i am praying it over you all... From Lam 3
But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. "The Lord is my portion," says my soul, "therefore I will hope in him." The Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the soul that seeks him. Let us lift up our hearts as well as our hands to God in heaven. I called on your name, O Lord, from the depths of the pit; you heard my plea, "Do not close your ear to my cry for help, but give me relief!" You came near when I called on you; you said, "Do not fear!" You have taken up my cause, O Lord, you have redeemed my life.
praying for the clot to disolve, for the nausea to subside and for god's presence to be so evident in each of your hearts.
we love you trenna!
Absolutely still praying!!! I said prayers and kept candles going at the church yesterday while I prepared flowers for the Divine Liturgy for the Nativity of John the Baptist and Forerunner. We lighted candles during the liturgy, and, of course she was prayed for during the Entrance.
ReplyDeletePlease squeeze her hand and kiss her cheek for me.
Many prayers of thanksgiving for Dr. Black, too! What a blessing. An attentive, caring physician (or nurse!) can make all the difference in the world.
And, of course, along with Dr. Black, we do have the most attentive and caring Physician in the world looking after her; he never will leave or forsake her.
God grant those attending her the wisdom and means to manage her pain; may the nausea cease; may the blood clot dissolve.
Hugs to you all. And let us know if you need anything at all that we could help with. xxx xxx
Thinking of you Trenna, and continued prayer for pain relief and a quick recovery. You are loved!!
