Update on Dad
Thursday, August 22nd - 10:30PM
"You walk with my through fire. You heal all my disease. I trust in You..."
It's been over 2 months since Dad's pacemaker surgery, and he returns to Oschner tomorrow for his first major check-up.
Since the installation of the pacemaker, Dad has more energy now than I've ever seen. He feels better than he has in over a decade, despite his previous misgivings about the idea of a foreign object in his chest. In short, he could give the Energizer Bunny a run for his money. He now sees the pacemaker as God's miraculous healing for his heart condition.
He meets with Dr. Ventura in the morning to see if his heart has improved enough to handle higher doses of meds to continue the strengthening process. He'll have the pacemaker itself evaluated in September.
Prayer point: In the meantime, the focus is on the strength of his heart, which they say is not always evident this soon. Still, his outward transformation HAS TO BE the result of internal improvements. Pray that (unlike before) this visit will now be a POSITIVE experience for Dad, and that he can enter into the hospital in boldness and thankfulness, knowing what God has brought him through.
God's mercies are undeserved yet always new. We move into the future with a fondness for where we've been and anticipation for the things to come. He has done GREAT things. Bless His holy Name!
