From the Lighthouse Keeper 6.18 / Edie Day 30
Greetings, saints and lighthouse keepers all –
Our sister Edie had her C2 neck surgery Monday evening, and preliminary reports are good. I plan on seeing her on Wednesday, and will send another update after that visit.
Thanks to you who participated in this past weekend’s Church Work Day (info in the newsletter coming out) and CROP Walk (3 walkers, and Sandy raised close to $500!!!)
And another ‘heads up’ that the Bazaar is this weekend
Be sure to check out the “Edie Update Day 30” from Stacy.
And these emails “From The Lighthouse Keeper” are now online (you're looking at it now)
As well as pictures. Check ‘em out.
God is good, all the time, friends. Peace –
Pastor Kerry
Edie Update Day 30
Hi Everyone:
Sorry this is so late getting out today - I got to work at 6:15 a.m. my desk was so full, I could hardly get to it.
Monday was so good, I'm not even going to recap the weekend.
*Mom had surgery Monday to fix her C2 vertebrae - they went in through the front of the neck to put the hardware in . The surgery lasted almost 6 hours and at about 10:00 pm, the doctor came out and told us it went well. After making sure she was safe and sound in her room, we left.
*At 6:00ish Tuesday morning, I spoke to the nurse who said she was being very "feisty" (that's our mom!). She was taking her right arm (which has a heavy cast on it) and trying to get the respirator tube out! Unfortunately, they had to restrain her. They are still hoping to get the tube out today, but her heartrate and respiration tend to get very high when they do it (I'm sure it's very scary).
*At 11:00ish, Mark checked in the with the nurse and said she was awake and they were still working on weaning her off the respirator.
*They also hope to get her down to x-ray and check her wrists (we're hoping it'll be done by the time we get there after work). Hopefully, we'll have some word from Orthopedics.
It's quite a week already for mom! We're praying that it'll be easier sailing from here!
Keep prayin!
Much Love,
Edie's kids
