Quick update: Today was a good day. Mom made it through all three therapy sessions (occupational, therapy and physical). She is showing quiet determination and strength as she pushes through her pain and her body that is not yet cooperating.
Her pain is always there but today it was manageable. Thank you for your prayers. She also was able to nap in between sessions which was an answer to prayer.
Continue praying for her at night that she would really rest, sleep and have deep peace! Pray for her therapists and nurses to care for her in the best possible way. Pray that she would continue to heal from the surgeries and stay healthy. It is truly a miracle that the Lord has kept us all healthy during these weeks. Pray that the Lord would continue to help Dad and I know how to best advocate for and help her.
Jesus is sustaining us all! We are all sensing the prayers in Chicago, MI and KY!
Thank you!

Again tonight we pray for perfect peace that only comes as you rest in the hand of the Lord–which you are doing so well. Proud of you all and challenges by you as well–may our spirits be lifted to the Father in sweet surrender to His will. God bless you all. Cathy A

Thanks Liz for the steady updates…so many are praying for you all. Your post title, “Sustaining Grace” brought to mind a short John Piper sermon of the same name which has helped my very much through my own tough times. Maybe it would be a blessing to your family and friends if you get a chance to listen.

I am great for the daily updates! Like so many others have said, it helps direct our prayers. I’ve also been praying for safe travel for you & your dad as you commute daily to care for your mother. My heart goes out to both Sarah & Liz. I remember well how hard it was leaving my mother when she was sick, & I lived less than an hour away. The longing to help our parents is a strong one ❤️
Please let your mom know we lift her up to the Throne multiple times a day. Grace & I just started using a prayer guide (A Girls Guide to Prayer, by Titus Woman) & one of the very first verses in the booklet is Ephesians 6:18. It brought all of you to mind.
I look forward to hearing what a wonderful rest Katy has tonight!!
Blessings & prayer from New York!
