Mum Update

I just wanted to send an update about Simon's Mum. She's doing much better than we could have expected at this stage. She is still in intensive care, but has regained some consciousness. She can open her eyes and breathe on her own, unaided. She is no longer on dialysis, either, so her kidneys have started to function again. Also, the bacteria has started to go down for the first time. Basically, instead of failing, all her organs have started to function again. We're so happy that positive progress has been made, but the doctors told us not to get too excited, as patients in her condition often have relapses and go back to stage one. We feel positive, though, that the Lord is looking after her and she is fighting to come back!

The recovery for her would be a matter of months, though. After intensive care, she would be in the hospital for weeks and then into a sort of care home for weeks after that, so we're not hoping that she'll be coming home soon anytime, but that she'll just continue to make positive steps in progressing. We feel blessed that she has been getting better.

The Lord really does hear and answer our prayers. Keep praying, though! xx
