Pray For Patience

8:30pm From Alex: Noe is doing well. Her intracranial pressure is in the normal range and the MD plans to remove the pressure monitor tomorrow. They are also slowly weaning her off the heavy sedatives and hope to extubate her on Wednesday. They will continue to monitor the swelling in her brain over the next 7-14 days before they replace the bone flap. After replacing the bone flap, she will have to remain in the hospital another 2-5 days! She may not be home until after Christmas!

10"And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, 11being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and joyfully 12giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light." Colossians 1:10-12

Alex-

You,the boys and of course Noe are so much in our thoughts and prayers. We know she is strong and have faith that recovery will come.

So many people are praying for her.

Alex,
Jesus the Great High Priest is in the midst of this suffering with you. Lean hard into Him in your most trying and desperate moments.
Heb 4:14 Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.
15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin.
16 Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
