Brooke called last night from Houston. They have taken Kay off the Tandem pump that was pumping blood for her. Her heart jumped right in step and started working. They then took her off the respirator...and she started breathing on her own. WOW! The prognosis before yesterday, was, heart transplant as soon as possible. She was very high on the list. Last night they were talking pacemaker, and sending her home. While still guarded, Brooke was extremely happy. She said she was emotional...but didn't know what to do. Laugh or cry, celebrate or hold her breath. I can only imagine.
Knowing what the Doctors were saying just a week ago... makes this very clearly miraculous. We are thankful Lord for the hundreds of people praying for Kay. We have had reports that prayer on her behalf are being said in cities way outside of Waco. So this morning Lord, I am thankful that Brooke is able to have a conversation with her mother today. A second chance, an opportunity to say things that a week ago we thought might go unsaid. Thank you for allowing Billy to speak to his wife again. We thank you also that your healing power encompassed George, Kay's father. Who we thought was having heart trouble also. Turns out to be gall stones. Painful..but fixable.
Today Yvonne and Cain are getting married. We think the world of these two kids, and feel like we were a tiny bit involved in they're getting together. We certainly are proud of them, two Texas kids that went all the way to South Dakota to meet. They have now both graduated college and have come home to Texas to marry and raise a family. Cain is origionally from Elsa. In South Texas, but he has taken a teaching job here in Waco at University High School. Yvonne will do something wonderful with her degree I'm sure of it...but for now... purchasing and setting up house is the first thing on her agenda.
