This morning most of our family met with Stephanie's neurologist. We were able to finally hear from him about her injuries, her brain surgery, recovery, and prognosis.
First, if you lifted Steph up in your prayers, God heard you! He answered you and He spared her life. Her Dr informed us that he was very excited and surprised to see that she lived through her injuries!! He didn't think she would make it when she was first brought in and operated on. It is WITHOUT A SINGLE DOUBT that it was all of you lifting her up continually to our Healing Father that brought her this far. THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts! He was also positively optimistic about her prognosis. He did warn us (as other medical professions have as well) that her healing road will not be a short one, but one measured in months and years. We are so thankful for his knowledge and care of her brain injury. As for things to pray for:
*pray that the drainage tube in her brain will be able to be removed, and she can progress back to the neuro floor. This morning her dr did say he was thinking he might take it out today.
*pray for continual healing of her lung infection. Once that infection goes away, and no other setbacks come up, she will be a candidate for having the bone flap put back in her skull, which will aid in her progression of healing.
*pray for her ribs and pelvic fractures as they continue to heal.
*pray for the nursing staff watching over her and praying for her. We have been so privileged to meet some amazing people who do a hard job very well, with love and grace.
*pray for our family. As we have started settling into the "long haul" of her recovery, pray that we would have the grace, love, and patients to go through this trial and be a comfort, joy, and encouragement to those around us.
Thank you all so much for your immense love for our mom!
God has an immense love for Stephanie. As He does for us all. He is not through with her yet on life's journey. And this life changing event for Art and for Stephanie will glorify His name. Praise the Lord Lee and Sue Hayden

Thank you Jesus!! You hold Stephanie in the palm of your loving hand and there is no better place for her right now. She will be a true living witness of your love even more than before, Art also. Stephanie and I were very best friends in elementary school - through high school and in each others weddings. I have reconnected with her on facebook and so thankful I did so I would be praying for her, Once she is better and can have visitors, I want to come and spend a few days with her. Walk done memory lane. My very first true friend and I love her with all my heart. The same goes for Art. God Bless & keeping Stephanie & Art & whole family in daily prayers. Show us your Glory God- we will keep pressing in. Thank you Lord, Nancy Niobe 510 -828-0855
