While Gina still has the trachea in she has NOT needed the ventilator for the past 30 or so hours. When I went in earlier today the nurse said that she had it off of her for 24 hours and that was at 12:30 or so today and it was still off when I left after 5 and showed no signs of needing to have the hose attached back to the trachea. This is good news.



Again, she is still sick but she is looking great. Obviously, she is still weak but she will get stronger with muscular therapy. She will be ready sometime next week to go into the rehab center which is where they will take care of start taking care of her muscular and respiratory. The hospital is already taking care of these but the rehab center is able to handle it to a more intense degree.

Sometime over the weekend she will be having a food tube put into her stomach so please pray that the Lord would guide the hands of the surgeons as this procedure is being done.

Also, please continue to pray for her financial situation as this will be costing lots of money for her so please pray the Lord will provide her needs. She has a piece of property for sale and authorized the agent to reduce the price today so please pray that this property will sell. There is an interested buyer. This would help her tremendously seeing that she will not be working for at least the next month or so.

Thanks for praying and please keep praying for her complete recovery.

Also, I met a man yesterday who was about 60 or so and his mother (who is 92) was having an operation done for stomach cancer. I told him that I would absolutely pray for her as well as him and I asked him her name and her name is LILLIAN so I am asking that you would also please lift a prayer for LILLIAN and her family.
