God is faithful.. we had a great day with my mother yesterday.. alert and not in too much pain... walking around as if nothing has happened... and I am exaggerating ... but, considering that the night before she fell asleep while lying in bed trying to brush her teeth.. and last night she was standing in her little bathroom and took a good two minutes brushing, then changed her nightgown and walked all the way back to bed..
today hopefully some of the tubes will be removed and getting around will be even easier..
we had a tearful Good bye but it was something that could be done... God is so good, He answered our prayers for a good last day.... how hard would it have been leaving her had she not improved...
so now, it is back to good old Canada... looking forward to my own bed and my little sleep companions, the white and fluffy ones..
I am thankful for the way God has provided for us to be here, for the surgery to go well, for recovery to happen, for love and communication, for patience and peace, for funny times together ... today my brother is arriving to take over the care of my mother.. very soon the second leg of her journey to complete healing will be done.. then on to Chemotherapy... and she will make it through that as well..
the truth is as much as she is resisting the Lord, He is still with her and will give her all she needs... because that's who He is...
But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved..... He pursues us relentlessly... He won't give up on my cute, rebellious mother... I trust that...
so off we go now... trusting Him for safe travels... and everything else we need, as always...
