Praise Report!

Bethani moved to her new room with an uncomfortable bed. The nurses brought her an ICU bed (she deserves the best!) The doctors told the family that today would be the worst day for pain, but we KNOW a Mighty GOD! She had a great day!

Her color is getting better and better. She is smiling and getting back to BEHTANI. She is sooo much better! She had 11 IVs, but today she has none. She is drinking water, and the doctors said her body accepted the liver extremely well.

Mom Bishop has been reading all your comments to her. Thank you for continuing your communication through this blog.

"We thought we lost her, but we are relieved to get our girl back. She is talking like her old self. Everything is going according to par." - Dad Bishop

Absolutely wonderbar, people.

I just set off one of those party "poppers." You probably didn't hear it.

Wait a minute . . .

I just thought of something.

Doesn't this technically overshadow your testimony about the warts?

Okay, my wife thought of it.

You are doing amazingly well - I've been researching the whole liver transplant thing pretty extensively on-line(secretly a nerd) and that is one brutal surgery!!! You are one tough cookie - very proud of all your progress. Stay positive!

I keep wondering what caused this whole thing? Poisonous Mushrooms?

Thank God the darkness has fled and the light of day is here again. I know you are all so relieved. God Bless you Bethani and Brian and the Bishop and Roam Families. What a storm you've all been through. "Family is more than people related to each other. It's people joined by shared memories and hopes... It's people drawn together by caring and concern..." Thank God for the family of God.

Well it looks like we have made it past second base and heading towards third. Next is home base and what a "church service" that will be. "Our God is an Awesome God". We are anticiapating an awesome testimony.

Bethani,

I am soooo happy that you are doing so good. I knew things were going to turn out like this. The first couple nights you were in the hospital I could hardly sleep I just kept waking up and praying for you. Then after that I continued to pray as often as I could but I knew that God was going to work a miracle in your life. You've of course been on my mind alot lately so the other night I was telling my husband and daughters some funny Bethani stories from growing up times. I told them how wild and fun you are. I knew you are far to strong and stubborn for this to get the best of you. =) I love you so much and I hope to do a better job of keeping in touch. I love you and will continue to pray for you. Kiss that gorgeous baby for me. =)

Bro. and Sis. Bishop and Family,

I am so happy to hear Bethani is doing so good! Our church had special prayer for her on Monday evening and I've been keeping up with the reports. We never know what we are going to face in this life, but we know a God Who will be there when the "storms of life" come our way. We will continue praying for Bethani and the whole family. God bless you all!

Sweet sweet Bethani: You've been on my mind night and day. When I wake during the night the first thing on my mind is you. My thoughts go back to when you were born and how happy your sweet Mom was that you had big brown eye's like your Dad's. I've watched you grow up to be a beautiful young lady with many talents. Your hubby is a sweetie too. So glad you have a little "cowboy Wyatt" too. You make a good team for God. That is why you are still with us. God has many plans for you yet to be done for him. Bro. David is out of state hunting right now, and he said that when the news reached them about you getting the transplant....there was rejoicing in the camp. The hunters knew you would make it. By the way....let Brian and your Dad know this..Bro David got a monster buck. A seven point. LOL. Just wanted to share some fun news. I know you would enjoy news from your family of God here at home. We all love you so much. Can't wait till you get home. Really I'm looking forward to hear you sing. I love your singing. You should make a record you know. My heart is overjoyed for your miraculous recovery. My prayers will continue for you and Brian, and you too Bro.& Sis Bishop, and the rest of the family.
I will join that "party" that Ron is talking about when you get home.
Love & prayers. Sis. Tricia Opdyke

All I can say is "WOW"! Bethani, you and your family myst be so STRONG and close to the Heart of God. God has promised He would not put anything on us that we cannot bear. God has seen your strength and chosen you to show His Mighty Awesome Miraculous LOVE. Your life was already a light to this world but now you are shining brighter. You are a lighthouse, a beacon of light that can shine through the darkest of nights, the densest fog, and any treacherous storm. Your life will shine hope, peace, and safety to the lost souls who are seeking. God has a plan and you have been chosen. Again all I can say is "WOW"!! May God continue to Bless you and your family.

Was the bed thing a surprise for the nurses? They should know that only a real princess can feel the pea!
I love you and can't wait to see you all soon.
