Jody's surgery lasted less than an hour and a half! This is nowhere near the 3-11 hours that we all were prepared for. The 20 units of blood on standby just for Jody can now go to several other folks instead! NO blood was given to her at all! Her doctor felt great about the outcome all the way around and does not expect any issues as a result of the acretia. AMAZING!
It's 1:20 now, she's awake and talking in recovery. She's seen pics of the baby and is in good spirits! She's expected to be in a regular room within the hour! Praise God!
John and Dawn Bratcher brought lunch to those of us waiting...who were suddenly starving once we realized all was well! What a blessing!
It's so exciting to watch God's plan unfold! AND, it's so exciting to see the body of Christ come together to pray, to bless and to serve. God's provision of peace and of miracles in a very scary situation would be blessing enough, but God throws in a loving flock to come alongside to bless and support!
1:40 Jody just came out of recovery! She's groggy but great!
Baby Ezekiel should get to come "soon" to see his mommy and have a snack! We are learning that soon is relative here!
Thank GOD! I came online hunting news of Jody and babykins and found your blog--thanks for posting! Our God reigns; he is good to the last drop.
