There are times we don't like the answers we receive to prayers healing requests. This is the hardest for me. Timna will soon succumb to the pressure building up inside her head. I know she is in no pain but the brain damage has already been done and the pressure continues to build. It hurts so hard to type this. I haven't been able to talk much today.

 

Still... God is filtering my sorrow with peace.

 

Feverish, riddled with peritonitis, infections rebounding and increasing cerebral edema Timna has become a medical impossibility. They were not able to save her. God has blessed me with an answer: "I love you. This will work for good for you. Timna is safe."

 

Timna is safe.

 

Timna I love you.

Timna's blood pressure is still holding steady without medicinal support.

She will receive dialysis today with an additional unit of blood to keep her hemoglobin up. Dialysis damages some hemoglobin and Timna is getting a lot of blood draws for tests.

Physical therapy has already been in to do some movement therapy.

Respiratory will resume her weaning off of the respirator.

It's hard to believe that only two days ago they said that Timna would be going in just a few hours. There doesn't seem to be a medical explanation for her blood pressure rebound. Well, Timna always does like to surprise people.

Right now, Timna wants to get well.
