I knew Freepers were wonderful, loving people, but reading all the responses to my post brought tears to my eyes. You all are amazing. Bless you and thank you for your prayers!
Yes, I do have updates and they are good! Debra had surgery today to reconnect her intestines. She only has about 5 feet of small intestine left, but the doctors say that will be OK. They did not have to remove her spleen as they thought they might, so that is also good news.
While being prepped for surgery, Debra was awake and responsive. She even frowned when she was tired of her husband’s rubbing her forehead. The nurse said she had never been so thrilled to see someone frown before.
The doctors told Debra’s family that her blood volume has been replaced 12 times! It truly is a miracle that she has survived all this, and I have no doubt it is attributable to God’s mercy and the power of prayer.
The baby is doing well, and her grandmother brought her older sister to see her because the little girl wanted to sing to her new baby sister. I hope they let mom and baby see and touch each other soon, too, because I think that would be beneficial for both.
Debra is still a very sick lady. Her kidneys are not functioning and she is on dialysis. Pray that will not have to be permanent and that her kidneys will heal. After the surgery to repair Debra’s intestines, the doctors put her on a stomach tube for feeding. She also has had some severe swelling in one arm, but they have that under control for now.
Thank you all so much for your prayers and concern for Debra and the family and please keep praying! Freepers are the best!
Being tech challenged as I am, I don’t know how to reply to all, so I hope everyone sees this update.

Holy Lord,
We exalt You and thank You for Your wonderful watchcare over Debra. We know You want her well for You provided her healing through Your Son on the Cross of Calvary. Now we speak that healing into her body, confessing that her kidneys and intestines shall be restored to full function and her blood content shall return to normal. May the Resurrection power of the Savior bring complete restoration to every cell in her body. Lord, we thank You that this little baby is basking in the arms of the family until she can rejoin her Mama. We praise You for Your faithfulness and Your amazing grace. May this family bring glory and honor unto You through their victorious testimony. In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Praying for all
