Hospital Day #8 - 12/6/23 PM - Some Setbacks

Hospital Day #8 - 12/6/23 PM

Unfortunately Brittney had some setbacks today, but we hope and pray to improve enough to be home tomorrow!

Please pray for:

• her heart rate and blood pressure to rise into, and stay in, the “normal” range 
• for wisdom for the doctors to find anything that needs to be found
• for Brittney to heal and feel better & stronger
• for no strokes or setbacks
• for us and our girlies to have patience as we wait

Picture note: these are the only buttons of Brittney’s that I am allowed to push until we are home 🤣

Brittney is improving! We are still in the ICU which isn’t the best for sleep but is great for care!

Brittney is passing her neurological tests with flying colors so we are praying to be able to make it home today.  

Thanks for all of your prayers, love, and encouragement! God is answering your prayers in amazing ways!

James 5:16 “Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.”

Hospital Day #7 - 12/5/23 PM - A Post-Operation Summary

Hospital Day #7 - 12/5/23 PM POST-OP

Brittney’s surgery went great and she is resting now! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Her surgery was very challenging and took a little longer than planned.  Several angioplasty balloons popped 😳 her right carotid was “nasty” and took 3 stents (4 stents total).  But God opened up her 100% blocked left vertebral artery! 🙌🏻 ( but is still very “nasty”)

So she should be ICU tonight and home tomorrow.  Blood thinners and followup angiogram procedure in 6 months and more testing ahead.  But these four stents should make a big difference!

Thank you so much for your prayers!!!

We can’t thank you enough for your prayers during this very serious surgery. We appreciate continued prayers as she recovers and heals.  She’ll spend the night in the ICU for observation and prayerfully we’ll head home tomorrow!

2 Thessalonians 1:3-4 “We ought always to give thanks to God for you, brothers, as is right, because your faith is growing abundantly, and the love of every one of you for one another is increasing. [4] Therefore we ourselves boast about you in the churches of God for your steadfastness and faith in all your persecutions and in the afflictions that you are enduring.”
