    Thanks for the note. I certainly will, for wisdom for the doctors and swift recovery.

    Praying for you both, Bill. I know how hard it is to be the one waiting, too. Please update us on how Becky is doing when you are able.

    She's in a room now. Mostly sleeping. The doctor does not believe it was cancer, but we have to wait for lab report.

    Thank you for your prayers and support.

    Excellent! Will continue to pray for recovery. I am once again reminded and thankful that we live in a time and place where good doctors, medical technology and quality treatment is accessible - AND we have the resources to use it. From what I've personally seen of the world, many people have no hope of such care.

    Question

    She got the ok to come home tomorrow. The prerequisite was a bowel movement. Got that.
    Thank you all for your prayers. Her fast recovery is nothing short of a miracle. They got her up to walk Thursday and I noticed no difference in her walk. They had her going up and down stairs. It really kind of looked like she was dragging the 2 therapists.
    Then yesterday had a setback when her IV broke out of the vein and before it was noticed her hand was swollen. Took her off all meds and she has gone since 3AM Thursday without any pain meds. Nothing. This is after having a portion of both small and large intestines removed and the ends sewed back together.
    And she hadn't asked for any.
    There's no explanation for all this but that the prayers of folks like you and others reached the ears of our God. Thank you, forum members and thank you Jesus.
