So many times you've run to my aid when I was down...I want to be here for you too.
Please know that you are in my heart and prayers, I'm so sorry for all that you're going through.

Oh Truth, you know we (I) have been covering you and your Mom in prayer. Figured you would update when you could. Have you gotten any rest?
Wish I was closer so I could just sit with you in real life, be a second set of ears when the drs are talking, hold your hand, buy you a drink, make a stupid joke to give you a smile. But know that when you need that, I am thinking it for you.

I love you all so much. So very grateful for you.
My dad is having a really hard time with this. He was pretty broken up tonight. It's so very hard making this transition to parent role for your parents. You anticipate having to do it. You know others who have. But it's TOTALLY different when you are actually in it. It's VERY humbling for me to look back on how...indifferent - maybe too strong a word but I hope it can convey the general gist - I was prior to having experienced it. It truly is wrenching - and I'm just at the start! My heart is hurting tonight for those of you that have walked this path.

Isn't that how all profound life experiences are to some degree? Happy ones, sad ones, scary ones? Until you have walked the path, you can be sympathetic or think you understand the impact, positive or negative, but you can not know.
I am sorry you are having to feel your way along this one. There can be people to guide you, warn you, explain, tell, share, but until you are there, it is always a little removed from your own personal set of filters. It is humbling to see a parent worried and scared. I can remember thinking, I have to be an adult now. As if I had never really been one before.
My heart goes out to you. I know you are incredibly strong. Even though you might not want to be. Lean on friends, let them be there for you. Lean into your faith. He is always there for you. This is scary and humbling time but it can also be a time to feel love and peace extended to you and through you.
Praying for skilled surgical staff, kind caretakers, strength for all of you and the love and peace of fellowship surrounding you and your family.

Out of surgery! Did BEAUTIFULLY!!!
Working on pain management but she's drifting in and out of sleep so I think we are close to having that under control. She's also been wise-cracking some with the staff ever since being brought back to the room.
It's gone better than could even have been expected. Thank you all so very much for the prayers, etc. They really do work!

I'm so happy that the surgery went well...now sending more prayers for a great recovery.
I still have prayers - the more I send out, the more I seem to have available for sharing.
