We thought Kolleen would be in and out today from surgery, but the schedule got bumped, delayed, and dragged out a few long hours later than it was to begin. I finally saw her after surgery in recovery late this afternoon, but although the procedure reportedly had gone well, she was in a lot of pain, was having to have oxygen administered, she couldn't move around yet, and the nurses and surgeon agreed it would be better if she stayed the night. I expressed gratitude and agreed wholeheartedly. Sadly, when I left to come home she started weeping. I felt like a deserter but she would be incoherent for another hour or two, would have to be moved from one end of the hospital to another wing, and although not having surgery myself, I still felt I had too little stamina left at the end of the day. Ideally I'll bring her home and pamper her tomorrow late morning or early afternoon. Please pray for her pain, her healing, and for a sure and soon recovery. And also that she and can get her into the house and seated without excess difficulty. Thanks! God bless you all. Kolleen's precious!! :heart: :rose: Lifting up Kolleen before You Lord, asking for Your healing virtue to cover her! May body, soul and spirit be comforted by You Lord! May Dan's love of his wife invite and extra measure of Your grace for her! May you comfort and guard her as she sleeps and minister in the deep recesses of her soul! May she and Dan feel Your abiding presence! May Dan continue to lead her into the throws of Your heart Lord! Grace and peace be given to each of them as well as an unspeakable abiding joy through this ordeal! They love you Lord, please love on them! TR Lord bless Kolleen with healing, relieve her pain, give her the sleep as your beloved, and surround her with your heavenly host to protect her as she continues to recover. Allow her to return home safely into her favorite comfy chair and give them both strength as they continue to wait and watch for your “any minute” return for your bride. Thank you in Jesus name :prayer-hands: May God’s healing power rest upon Kolleen and remove her pain, heal her body with no complications, and restore her joy. :prayer-hands: praying for Kolleen. Praying for you beautiful sister! :prayer-hands: as the Lord watches over you and strengthens you and for a speedy recovery. Heal well and quickly Kolleen. :rose: 🙏🏾 Agreeing in prayer! :prayer-hands: I am echoing the prayers of all these wonderful brothers and sisters on RITAN for your recovery and healing Kolleen. :prayer-hands:
