Nothing has changed, her blood pressures stay high most of the time. They do seem to respond to the meds in the first hour following her medication but then they climb right back up. Please pray for her!
Today I keep reminding myself of that word I got from the Lord, in the mall...Don't be afraid....that is what I'm holding on to right now. Feeling very fearful on many different fronts....but thankful that The God of the Universe took the time to tell me "do not be afraid" three months before this happened. I've never had a prophetic word in my life. Being raised Pentecostal and becoming quite skeptical of alot of foolishness at a early age, did NOT make me a good audience LOL. I've been in services where everyone around me "got a word" but for me. I always thought it was quite funny! But God....gives me a soft gentle word in the middle of the Mall, that speaks to my heart in the worst times. I'm holding onto that word right now.
I know I ask for prayer for Selah all the time...and I just have to tell you that is the one thing that you can do for us. Pray that her BP will come down and that she will respond to us. She seems so far away from us right now. Her body is stiff, responding to neurological signals of injury. It's so sad to see her like this. She is breathing on her own and accepting her feeds through the g-tube with no issues and we are glad of that but .....please pray!!!!!
"Our life maybe a crazy life but it's our life" I'm married to a pastor of a small rural church, who is also the prison chaplain. We have 5 kids, each with their unique story. I love gardening & we all love the outdoors. Our life is not the way we planned it to be, but we are learning to trust God in every area. Come and read about our life as we live it to the fullest!
We are praying specifically for her blood pressures to come down! Sorry I haven't commented on here in the past few days. We continue to pray for you all!
ReplyDeleteOh, on a lighter note, I thought of you in church today. Our church often does a Christmas production to share the gospel message. This year it is going to be called "A Mayberry Miracle". :-)
I get "God moments" now and then, and I had one today (regarding an event that happened in my childhood--really long story). I'm not "overly religious" or anything. So God comes to us when He wants to!
ReplyDeleteOne thing I did realize, as I have been thinking about Selah constantly....rearranging the letters in her name spells HEALS. I don't know if you knew that, or purposely chose that name (my brain is fixated on letters---guess that's why I was an English major).
I am asking God to heal Selah all through the day and night. I am glad that some things are better. Be not afraid sweetheart. God has you in His hands.

ReplyDeleteFather, we continue to hold Selah, your precious jewel, before Your throne for complete healing of her blood pressure and the source of it's elevation to be resolved. We make supplication for her in the Mighty Name of our Lord Jesus Christ! Amen!"

ReplyDeletePraying specifically for her response to you and for lower blood pressures! Continuing to pray for you all.
ReplyDeleteI pray for her all the time. I mean like 10 times a day. Her name comes into my mind and I talk to God about her. I have asked others to pray for her. I pray for you and the rest of your family along with her but for different needs. God is working through you, reminding me that there are good people everywhere. The folks in Rochester have been such an example of this. When a big ole department store like Macy's reaches out to a family in crisis well i am floored and so grateful. God is amazing.
ReplyDeleteMy son and I continue to pray for Selah every night at the end of his prayers. She is part of our "special" prayers and we won't stop.

We pray for you all and little Selah everyday. We are praying her blood pressure comes down. I am thankful the Lord gave you that word months ago.

I've gotten several of those little messages over the years, and listen carefully when I do! Sometimes it's a word that wakes me up in the night, or one that makes me go someplace, or change direction, but it's always important. I have asked for prayers for little Selah here at Ebenezer UMC in Conyers, GA. One of my friends (Sharon Jiretz) from when I lived in Land O'Lakes got me started reading your story, and I look forward to your updates regularly. I will keep praying for your little angel.
ReplyDeleteI haven't forgotten about dear little Selah. Still praying.
ReplyDeleteOur church has you all on our prayer list. I updated them this a.m. and we will continue to hold you in our prayers.
