Jennifer Update

Today, I realized that I have not updated everyone on Jennifer’s progress. Today, she went for her second appointment with the Occupational Therapist for the continued weakness in her right arm and hand. They expect her to have three weeks of therapy.

The neurologist is changing up some of Jen’s meds. We believe these changes will make a huge difference with her energy, focus and strength.

Jen took last week off to spend with the boys before school starts back tomorrow. But, she was back in the office today in full force. I’m not sure I will be able to keep up with her much longer. So, pray for me too!

Thank you to everyone who has prayed, called and shown support for us. You are all amazing! God is faithful and Jen is getting closer to the full healing God has promised us!

She will be completely healed!

Jennifer Update – Day 7

It was so good to get Jen back home yesterday. There was a marked difference in her headache after only a few hours of receiving the steroids.

The boys were so glad to see her home and Sadie (Jen’s dog) was super excited to have mommy back.

The migraine is not yet gone completely and Jen still has some marked deficiencies in her right arm and hand. They are setting up Occupational Therapy to build her strength and coordination back up.

Helen Fuller has been arraigning meals for us. She’s just that awesome. Thanks Helen!

Christy Huff brought dinner to the hospital Wednesday night and it was the best thing I had eaten all week. I ate all of mine and half of Jen’s. Helen hooked us up last night with spaghetti pie. I’m glad she didn’t make this for us. I ate Helen’s food before football practice and then came back for seconds. It’s been less than 24 hours and the brownies she made are already gone!

Thank you all for continuing to pray for us. God has blessed us tremendously and Jennifer is getting better every day! We love you all.

Jennifer Update – Day 6

Just a quick post this morning to let everyone know WE’RE HEADED HOME! They changed up Jen’s meds last night and gave her a steroid. Within a few hours, she could tell a noticeable difference. Please be praying with us that the steroid they gave her will not completely crush her hopes at Olympic gold.

So, we are just waiting on the paperwork and then we are out of here. Thanks to all of you who have expressed your love, concern and prayers for us.

There’s no place like home. There’s no place like home. There’s no place like home.

Jennifer Update – Day 5

Today marks day 7 for Jen’s migraine and day 5 in the hospital. The neurologist is still at a loss for how to stop Jen’s migraine. So, we are still in the hospital.

Waiting…

Praying…

It’s not easy watching Jen hurting. But, our faith is still strong. God is still her healer.

When I ran home last night, I took Jen’s iPhone with me and loaded up the song Healer from Hillsongs. It is a powerful song. Take a look at the story behind this song and then the live recording.

When I watch these videos and listen to this song, I realize that this is not as bad as it feels sometimes.

God is her healer. She is healing. We just haven’t seen it yet. Stay tuned…

Jennifer update

Thank you to everyone who continues to pray for Jen. She feels about the same today. The CT scan and MRI both indicate that she did not have a stroke. In fact, the neurologist said the MRI today does not even show any evidence of the stroke she was diagnosed with two years ago!

Her “official medical” diagnosis is a migraine with prolonged aura. Kinda sounds like something that requires a priest and some holy water to get rid of. This type of migraine puts her at risk of a stroke. So, they have given us a stack of literature and information.

At present, she has better use of her right arm. The numbness in her face is almost gone. But, the headache remains. They are keeping her again tonight to try a new medication in order to stop the headache. Hospitals are slow. The doctor prescribed the new medication 3 hours ago and she has yet to receive it. Go figure. The idea is that if this impending drug works, she can go home tomorrow.

I received a call a couple hours ago from my aunt Charla Barnes and she provoked me. In her time of praying, Holy Spirit directed her that Jen’s healing was in my mouth. She did not call and pray for me. She provoked me.

Don’t speak the doctors report. Speak over her what you want for her. Claim what you want to see. Keep saying it over and over again.

She just texted me a few minutes ago and challenged me again. I am being obedient. I’m even going to go a step further and blog it.

Jennifer is healed. It’s just not evident yet. I want her free from pain in her head. I declare that her leg and back will be completely healed. Her mind is being renewed so she can think and speak clearly without a struggle. Her memory is being restored. The long list of drugs that she takes will not be a permanent remedy. Her ovaries will stop making cysts. Her days of chronic fatigue are coming to an end.

God, I know you listen to me. I’m pretty sure you know what’s posted on the ‘net too. You said You would give me the desires of my heart. Jesus didn’t take the beating for nothing. He took it for my wife. And so it is.

Words are very powerful. Are you speaking the promises of God or the report of man? Whose report will you believe? As for me, I will believe the report of the Lord.

What do you need to declare? Comment right now so we can all pray and agree with you.
