Once again I need to rewind to begin this post. It was a week ago Friday that Leah's Gram fell in her driveway while trying to open her garage door. To make a long story a bit shorter it was discovered she had bleeding in the brain. Due to the bleeding she had brain surgery to relieve pressure and drain the blood. She came through surgery well and the surgeon was glad they had done the surgery. The last week she has improved gradually.
Today Leah, Lydia and I went along with her parents to Chicago to see Leah's Gram. After the long ride down there we spent a few hours visiting with her when she wasn't dosing off. She was super glad to see that I had come along and was glad to see that I looked good and that I was smiling. We informed her I was feeling well at the moment and my treatments begin this Thursday.
Before we left Leah's dad read scripture and before he was finished Gram began praying out loud for me and my health. She prayed that I would continue to do well and get better from my treatments. It was obvious during our stay she focused on me being there and how I was doing health wise.
It was extremely touching to me that an 87 year old woman who had brain surgery several days before was more concerned about me with my journey than she was about herself in her situation. One thing I can assure you is We love her very much and are Praying as much for her health as she is for me. We pray she recovers to a point where she can continue to bless her family and friends.
Gram thank you for your continued concern and prayers.

We're praying for you and for "Gram." So glad that you could spend some time together today!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful post. So glad Grandma De Boer is doing well and recovering.
ReplyDeleteWhat an answer to prayer. Wonderful that you were able to visit her. We will be thinking about you this week as you begin treatments again. We pray that is goes well, Take care, Deb
We will not soon forget this touching experience.
ReplyDeleteI think it was very important for her to see you - almost a relief for her to know that you looked the same, had that same grin, etc.
Then for her to join in singing a duet with me, definitely a tear jerker.
"Though Satan should buffet, though trials may come
let this blest assurance control
that Christ has regarded, my helpless estate
and has shed his own blood for my soul." It Is Well. Through the storm we are held!
Love you

Kent, Leah's grandmother is a great lady and we're so glad that she came through the accident as well as she did. We'll be praying that her healing continues. She is too "young" to have this slow her down. We'll, of course, be praying for you this week (as we do daily).
