I’m sorry I’ve not updated, especially since Danica had a really bad night; however, they are home now and Danica was quite happy to be in her own bed.

Thank you for praying for my friends. It means so much.

From Monica’s facebook at 1:20 today (Sunday):

Dr. C and his residents came in today, and he said her progress is REMARKABLE–he never expected such instant visible results with her range of motion and the improved head tilt. The surgery worked!!! They removed her dressing and with no setbacks we can go home tomorrow. “Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think!!!”

Thanks to those who are praying.

Thank y’all.

Those of you who have prayed. Those of you who have written. Those of you who have encouraged Monica personally. She is feeling those prayers.

I have written often about my dearest childhood friend, Monica. We met 30 years ago, and without her, I don’t know how I would have gotten through a lot of my life. In her blog Monica recently wrote this:

Oswald Chambers wrote, “Living a life of faith means never knowing where you are being led. But it does mean loving and knowing the One who is leading. It is literally a life of faith, not of understanding and reason — a life of knowing him who calls us to go.” Knowing a God who is unchanging and will do everything He says He will do is the only way I will navigate through the next weeks and months.
