Tana is doing very well. Everything that the doctor told us right after surgery has not happened...she is progressing well beyond what she "should" be doing and where she should be at this point after surgery. Her blood pressure was stable later in the day right after surgery, her blood count was where it was supposed to be by the following day at noon. Her pain level is low (except when she moves her right hip area...or it is moved by someone else). She would have moved out of ICU yesteday, but they did not put in the order in time. Right now she is just waiting for a room to come avialable. Her attitude remains positive and her spirit is upbeat. As most of you know Tana, none of the this will be surprising to you...BUT it's not from thinking positive happy thoughts or "just the way things happened" ..."This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the LORD Almighty.

Our strength lies in the God that calls us His sons and daughters. May we not forget when things go well nor try to rely on our own strength and knowledge when things are not going well.
