After surgery

Wytner had surgery on her left thumb last week and we had to make some adjustments today to the open wound that surgery left behind. Thank you all for your prayers as she underwent 2 sedations and the surgery. The Lord answered our prayers and she made it through very sucessfully. The HARD part has been all of the side affects. She had a VERY acute reaction to the first pain medication: massive hyperness, out of controll behavior- even violent at times- NO SLEEPING, massive constipation to name a few... She also has had to keep one sometimes both arms in splints to keep them straight so that she couldnt get her hands to her mouth- or to each other... By the 4th night mommy was able to get about 6 hours of MUCH NEEDED sleep. She is sleeping better, and seens to be tollerating the braces and pain pretty well...but we are still having constipation problems and mild behavior issues right now...Hopefully in the next few days we will begin to be on the upside of all this. It has been a LONG 15 months of dealing with this thumb. We will be greatful to have this issue behind us!
But God is good and His grace and mercies are made new to us each day. In every season He continues to prove Himself faithful, and it is to God we will cling!
