Miracle Report

The doctors have told Bethani and the family that after they removed her liver that a biopsy showed that her liver was completely dead and if the transplant had not been preformed she would have only made it three more days. GOD is Great! What a MIRACLE!

Bethani is going through the normal stages of recovery after a transplant. Her anxiety, pain, and emotional levels are high. Her immune level is very, very low. Only immediate family are allowed in her room, but Brian enjoys visitors. It is uplifting to him. Brian is staying strong. It is not for certain on when she will be going home (sometime Saturday to Monday).

Thank you for your continued prayers and support. Sis Denise Bobo is with Bethani at night, and Sis Saprina Flowers is with her in the day. Keep all of them in prayers.

Hi Bethani
Since I'm a nurse let me tell you what a miracle it is that you received a liver transplant so fast, it was truly only God's undertaking. I've been praying for you even when I thought all you had was Hep A, in fact I didn't know anything about this until Mon morn. Just want you to know we love you. Nina & David, we are praying for you also. When your kids hurt you hurt too, let me know if there is anything I can do.
Love you all, Sis Hughes

Remember: "He didn't take us this far to leave us. He didn't teach us to swim to let us drown. He didn't build his home in us to move away. He didn't lift us up to let us down".

Part of the miracle was bringing you this far. Part of the miracle is providing for the future. We don't have to understand how, we just have to continue to have faith. We love you guys!

Isn't that just like our God? He's never to early, never too late but he's ALWAY ON TIME!!!

Bethani, we won't stop praying for you until this storm has passed and every prayer has been answered. We rejoice in the miracles that God has blessed you with and continue to expect more to come. This too shall pass... You will be stronger than ever before, I believe it.

Brian, we continue to hold you and precious Wyatt up in prayer and I know God is giving you the strength you need to get through this...you'll be more powerful than ever for the Kingdom because of this. Your every need will be answered, keep trusting and believing! The Bishops, Roams, Flowers and Bobo families are in our prayers for continued strength as well. You are blessed with such awesome family support.

Love ya lots!

Bethani,
Well my little chicklett - cant hardly blame you for feeling anxious - it is extremely scary and unsettling to be in the position you are in. I know you probably have a thousand worries going through your head and the questions and concerns about the future seem enormous! One thing I have learned is to take one day at a time...because looking too far ahead is like a panic attack waiting to happen. Just know that all the details will sort out. And when you get home and you are feeling up to company - let me know and I will come over and you can vent to me all you want!!
xoxo

I'm sure you all love the idea of being home for the Holiday. Take it easy and remember we're still praying daily for complete healing and a financial miracle.

I love you all sooooo much and miss you terribly. Many X's and O's

Let me know when you get out. I've been deputized, and acquired one of those magnetic, Starsky & Hutch police lights to attach to my car. You’ll be escorted home at top speed by a nitro-fueled GEO Metro.

We love you and are pulling for you. And to your husband: Brian, hang in there, keep your faith up, ALL things are working for the good!

Could you imagine a crisis like this WITHOUT a loving God?

Onward we go,
