How Great are you Lord!

So what do you blog about when your patient is not so sick any more? I'm just not sure!
Today was a great day. Mom rested well and she is learning how much she can do.
I never knew that Black and Blue had so many different shades to them. But I'm thankful that it's going away so quickly!
I'm realizing how hard it is to take care of Mom and the Kids and the house all that the same time!
Whewwwww. I'm so thankful that Cayla had the week off to help out with everything. She is a great worker. and their church family is helping out with the meals the rest of the week. so that well help out greatly!
Mom has received lots and lots of cards and notes of encouragement. she has looked over them lots of times to day, What a neat ministry they have been to her.

All day long I've had the song that Pete Bray sang at our wedding " How Great Are You Lord."
That is so what He is, not cause Mom is on the road to recovery, but that "He just is"!
What an awesome God we have.
Have great night!

Thanks for your prayers.

Thats all I have for now. I'll update as soon as I get a new update!

Friday #2

Hello there!
Mom is doing great. I've talked to her several times today and each time she has been encouraged, Though tonight she was just a bit concerned. Her blood count has been low, and they talked about wanting to maybe do a blood transfusion. She really feels like that wouldn't be best.
Other then that she has been taking short walks, and eating reg. meals!
Her drain tube is still in, they are leaving it in still just to help out, but have said that it could come out soon!
I guess that's all for tonight.
Thank you for all your prayers, the Lord has her on the road to what seems right now, a quick recovery. He is so good!

Here is our prayer request for the night!
* her blood count would go up.
* her drain tube would come out.
* She would be able to rest better tonight.
*for my sisters as they travel home tomorrow to be with their families.

Thanks again!
Night!

Fri!

Good Morning!
I haven't been able to get anyone there in Cleavland this morning so I don't have a new update.
But the last I heard last night was that she was resting well feeling more like herself!
I'll be away form the com. today so I'll update tonight!
Have a great day!

The Blessings of the Lord!

I'm on the phone with Mom right now!!!!
Her prayer request is that her blood pressure goes up. it's just a bit low.
Other then that she is feeling really good! ( well as good as you can feel after you've just had heart surgery!)
Thank you for praying with me today. It's a blessing to know that your all coming to the Lord for us too!
Liam got to talk to Mom for just a second today and when we got off he said, "Gammy not sick!"
we have been praying that Jesus would help Gammy get better. It was so cute!
I'm off to relax and spend some time with the Lord.
Good night and I'll update first thing in the morning!

Thurs. Update # 2

God is so good!
Mom is doing great, and should be moved into her new room this afternoon.
They have decided to leave her drain tube in just for precautionary measures,
She is now on Tylenol rather then the Morphine (sp). and is doing better each time the family gets to go in to visit.
Thank you for your love and prayers.
I'll keep you posted.

Thurs. Update # 1

Good Morning!
I just got the call to start off our morning up dates.
She had a really rough night, no so much health wise, but another patient pass away in the night in the ICU and that was very traumatic for her.
So needless to say she is exhausted this morning.
They are hoping to take out the drain tube this morning.
Then after her 24 hours in ICU is up, and if all is well, they well move her into her next room out of ICU. I'm praying that she will be able to rest better there.
They did say that she is struggling with some nausea, so please pray for that.


Prayer Request for today...
*That she would rest well.
*For the nausea to go away.
*Continual healing.

Have a great morning!

Update #4 !

Hey everyone!
I just got the latest update on Mom!
The surgery was 100% a success. Praise the Lord!!!!
She is now in ICU. they got to take the breathing tube out around 7pm.
All the family has been into see her, they seemed encouraged, and my Dad was praising the Lord for the Dr.'s It was so sweet I almost cried. that was so good for me to hear, he's just not been "Dad" since we got here.
Please keep praying that her recovery goes as smooth as the surgery did.
We praise the Lord that she is doing good tonight!
I'll update you more in the morning~
Until then... Good Night.

Up Date #3

I just got a call from my family.
Surgery went great, and they were able to use the robotic arms to do the surgery.( the less invasive surgery!)
She did not need a valve replacement, they just repaired hers.
The Family will get to see her about 3pm.
She will be in ICU for about 24 hours, and then into a another room after that.
Before the surgery they had said that they hoped to have her out by like Sat. or Sun.
Please pray for a quick recovery. and that she will stay germ and cold free!
I'll keep you updated over the next few days as we know more!
We praise the Lord that He is the Great Healer .
We still covet your prayers in this long recovery process.

The Lord is Good!

Keep praying!

Mom got to go into surgery about 7:50 this morning.and all is well!
We just got an update a few min. ago and here it is.
The Surgery is taking longer then they thought and it's going to be about 3 pm that she gets out.
They said that everything is OK, but taking longer then they had planned.
Sorry this is so brief, It's all I know for now.

Please keep praying!

Mom!

Hello!
Well our long awaited day is arriving. Mom's heart surgery is tomorrow. ( Wed Feb4th)
It seems just like yesterday that we were told that she would need surgery.
So our Blog is the prayer and update sight for my Mom!
My parents left on Sunday to get to Cleavland that evening so that they could check in to the Hospital on Monday morning.
They have met with all the Dr. s and those who would be doing the surgery.
Today they met with the Dr. who would be doing the surgery and he said that she has a 99% chance of being able to have the lest invasive surgery, ( through her Ribs, and not Open Heart.)
We are praying that she will be able to have the less invasive, and that she won't need to have her valve replaced. but just fixed.

Please Pray with us about...
*That Mom would sleep tonight!
*Peace for my Dad and Siblings.
*Wisdom for the Dr's.
*For the less invasive surgery.

Thats all for tonight,
They are to be at the Hospital at 5:15 am to get everything stared and Surgery is at like 7am.
I'll keep you updated hourly as I hear form my family there in Cleavland.
( Your probably wondering why I'm not there too! I stayed home with the little ones. )

Good Night!

Fun times!

The Kids and I arrived here in IN. on Tuesday safe and sound after a very long and hard snowy trip from MD.
We were planning to leave on Saturday to travel here, but we were to get a bad snow/ice storm so we surprised Mom and Dad and arrived just a few days early!!!
Our time here has been so sweet. Getting to watch my Mom play and love on the kids has been so special for me.
In my heart I know that this surgery is major, but were trying to keep it... well lets just say on the not so bad side of things. But only the Lord knows the outcome of the surgery.
We are trusting His heart.
Mom's Surgery is this coming Wed. please pray as we pack and things that it will be a sweet time.
I'll update as we get updates!
We Covet your prayers at this time.

I've been spending some time on their computer and I found lots of old pix to share.
They remind me of how fast time goes by!

Hanging out with the cousins!
Lanna Joy at like 6 weeks old.
What a cutie!
Wow!!! What a Awesome Creator we have!
Taffy pulling at the Yoder's
Pull Mom!

This is so much fun to do. you start out with this blob and then you pull and twist and then you eat!!! It's yummy stuff! Hard to eat just one! ;)

Well I found a lot more pix to put on but this Mama is tired!
It's hard being away from Daddy for the kids but more so for me. I realize how precious your help mate is when your far way from him.
We love you Daddy and miss you so much!
Have a great night every one!

A new year!

A new year is here and with that comes so many fun and exciting things in the Moorman home.
This week Lanna turned 6 months old. It's so hard to believe that she's that old. Jon and I were talking yesterday and we said "It seems just like yesterday that she was born,but yet it seems like we've never been without her."
What a precious Blessing form the Lord she is.
Here is her 6 month photos.

Mama can we be done yet?

Liam will be 2 March 1st. He is so into learning right now. He wants to figure out why everything works.Were still doing a little signing with him. but mostly he uses words to tell us what he wants or needs!About 2 months ago we stared having him sit with us in Church. He is doing really good, he made it through this past week without having to be taken out!!! when it comes time to pray he bows his head and folds his little hands. and then when Pastor Wally says "Amen" Liam will say a very loud "Amen." it's so cute!

Bath time fun!

Our bath tub paint it so much fun!

How do I get that in there?

"Ledding" with Liam and Lanna ( Liam can't say S to start a word, so Sledding is Ledding!)"


Yesterday it was like 40' so we spent a while outside!

Daddy's little snow baby!

Lets go Daddy!

Our next post will be from IN. Some of you knew that my Mom Charlene is having heart surgery on the 4th. so the kids and I will be heading out a week form today to travel home to be with my family.

Please be praying for my family at this time. I'll keep you up dated as the days grow closer to the surgery.

Well I guess thats all for now. Jon and the kids are at home playing so I want to get home to them.

Have a blessed week!
