marlene,
the statements i noted are some of what stood out to me in your update on teresa.
your honesty that "if" you look at all of this in the doctors view, it is not good, shouts the spiritual FACT that only God is Good, and it is to Him that we are to look.
that you are keeping the faith and that God knows what is best, is the confirmation that even specialty trained physicians can't know what is truly best for their patients without God's giving them the vision of care for any particular patient.
and without really being aware of it, you saved the best for last, that when God brought you here (to BT) He had more than one good purpose. creating you into His image is His plan and purpose for your life, as well as the plan for each who believe in the True Gospel of Jesus Christ. and, as He does this for you and for us, we become as shining lights to those around us. our family and our households, our friends, and even to strangers when we reflect His Light in love and compassion. you are the light for teresa, your husband, your mother, your sister, your brother, little ethan, and everyone else you meet.
we are uplifted by your testimony marlene, even as you are confronted time and again with the mountains and floods that press in on you and your family.
continue to stand strong in that faith that Father God has given to you, and look to our Brother Jesus Christ for strength when you are weak, for peace when you feel like you are losing your mind, for patience when you feel like you cannot take it anymore. we are your Spiritual family and we love you with the love of our Heavenly Father and our Dear Savior Jesus Christ.
i will lift teresa, you, and your family in prayer marlene. you are such an inspiration to me. as brenda said in her post, that i am in awe that you can post the news of teresa and still be able to strengthen my faith in moving of mountains.

Marlene:
Hello , Just wanted to let you know that Teresea is not doing so good since the operation. She had to have two units of blood last night and her heart has been going to fast. Today, they had to give her blood pressure medication. Also, the tube they give her to pull out the bile came loose and had to be inserted back into her nose and throat. They tried to give her something to make her bowel start moving again and she vomited it up. I guess your throat gets so sore and it hurts when they put the tube back in. It was put in while she was out for surgery. This time she was awake.
She is very moody with her Mom and Sister. I did not get to go over. My Husband and I went to there home to do some things for Teresea.
The Doctor saw her today and I have no idea what he said to her. All, I know is she told My Sister I wish this was over. I am not sure how she meant it.
I know, you are all praying. I just wanted to update you on her. This is breaking my Heart.
In His Love,
Marlene

Hi All, I have to tell you so many things are going on. The other night I asked God to help my disability to come in . I had been fighting it for about three years. I said, God I need my money so I can help Teresea. Just, please help me get it so she can be taken for her chemo and help with other needs she may have.
Well, yesterday I received a letter that I had been approved and do not even need a hearing. I am very limited of how I can help. But, he provided the money so I can see that she can get to her chemo treatments. God moved this mountain so I could be of help that way. She takes care of her Mother who is paralyzed from a stroke.
Today, when we went over she has had the nose and throat tube removed. She is on soft foods now. She is able to drink again. Her blood pressure and heart is doing better since the blood tranfusions. She will probably get to go home on Thursday or Friday if all goes well. She has to get built back up before having the chemo.
Keep up the prayers that the chemo will reduce the tumor in the liver and pancreas. She is still in danger. I pray with all my heart that God will remove this mountain too. But, I know it is all in his will.
I just praise God that I have my disability for my health needs and can help her if thse needs some extra things or help . I know, my husband will be taking her for her chemos. I will more then likely go along . But, often my health holds me back.
I just wanted to let you know, that God blessed me when he met this need so quickly.
All Praise Be To God! We may not always get our wants. But, he always give us our needs.
In His Love,
Marlene
