UPDATE (10/28) Another update from Mary’s daughter’s Facebook status:
MOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMYYYYYYYY’S HOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMEEEEEEE!!!
She’s very tired but she can move her face.
UPDATE (10/27-5:00 pm) This from Mary’s daughter, Lanelle:
Mom is now in her own hospital room, she said she's very sleepy. They successfully removed the tumor... and she can smile, wiggle her nose, raise her eyebrows... so that probably means that she will be able to play the clarinet!!!
ary goes in for her surgery today. I’m sure she would prefer a different way to be at peace, and yet she is at peace. She knows God is in control and will do exactly the right thing through this surgery. She has already been an inspiration to many of us.
At the heart of the cyclone tearing the sky
And flinging the clouds and the towers by,
Is a place of central calm;
So here in the roar of mortal things,
I have a place where my spirit sings,
In the hollow of God’s palm.
As you go about your business today, please hold Mary and her family before the throne of grace. God delights when his children come to him.
I know Mary appreciates all the prayers, love, and concern.
I'm pulling for you Mary!
ReplyDeleteTim, you probably don't realize how much your encouragement will mean to Mary. She'll be out of commission for a bit, but when she's back and able to focus I will draw her attention to your well-wishes. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteWOO HOO! That's great news.
ReplyDeleteSince I don't believe in God, I had said a little prayer to my friend Dave. Nice goin Dave!
