Praising The Lord!

God is so good and gracious! My Mom H came through surgery with flying colors. The Doctor was very happy with the out come. He was able to open her spine, drain the fluid and peal the tumor (that was about a inch and a half long and the Doc said looked like a saugage. I told Dad Mom had a little smokie in her back. LOL!) off her nerve with out problem. The nerve is in tact and working well. The tumor is NOT CANCER! PRAISE JESUS! It was inside of the spine in the forth and fifth lumbar. Can you imagine that? He said that is really big for that space and can not figure how she was walking. He replaced the fluid in her spine and his exact words were he packed her, glued her, and stiched her up. She had to lay flat for about 21 hours. That was to make sure she would not get a spinal head ache from her spine leaking fluid.

There were five people that had surgery similar to my Mom's and she was the only one up and going the next day. As a matter of fact Dad and I called Mom in the morning and they had her up eating. She then told me that the Doc said she could go home. Dad and I were in shock that she was coming home the day after surgery! The nurses were clapping for her when she left! She is doing very well to say the least. She has been walking slowly and carefully. Her pain is no longer in her leg and she is walking like her old self. The Doctor said it will take six week to recover. I told Mom her new name is Bionic Woman.

All that is said to say this, all of this is by the hands of the Lord! My parents were being refered out and not sure how to choose a Doc. So Dad started calling to see who can get Mom in to be seen. The Lord led them to this Doctor. Come to find out that this Doctor is one of the BEST! People come from Canada and other states to have him help them. They did not know that till after the surgery. Mom also said that she learned not to judge the book by it's cover. She said when she walked into the Doc's office that Friday and looked at the office and thought it was a little on the run down side and thought oh man maybe this wan't the right one to choose. God knew what he was doing the whole time and met every need that my Mom had and then some. If I sat and told you all of the ways the Lord provided you would be reading for ever. I am so so thankful for the out come. My Pastors wife told me something to remember, if the out come does not come out the way we want it to, does not mean that the Lord did not hear our prayers it means that he has a different plan than we do. She told me to be ready to rejoice in the Lord no matter the out come. She is so right, I tried to keep that in mind. I am not sure that I can say that I would have been perfect if the out come was different. I do know with out a doubt that I know that the Lord is in control and he will give us grace to deal with that ever comes our way.
