Amy's 'momentary trouble'

Late Saturday, Amy had her NG (Nasal Gastric) tube taken out and little by little, she's being introduced foods, so far she's had fruit juice, jello, tea, sherbert and hard candies. They are talking about removing her epidural and her catheter today. She is having some lower abdominal cramping and pain, so please be praying for this.

You do realize what has transpired don't you? I'm not talking about the surgery, I'm talking about the miracle we see in Amy. The cancer hadn't spread and the tumor wasn't involved with an artery so they were able to proceed with the surgery, the tumor was removed intact, the tumor was able to be sliced away from the Portal Vein, The Portal Vein was able to be reconstructed and didn't need to be replaced, the tissues near where the tumor used to be, show a negative margin for cancer on a microscopic level, being that 50% to 75% of Amy's Pancreas has been removed, this can affect her insulin output, normal 'fasting' blood sugar is between 70 and 110, Amy's was 118 on Saturday, which is phenomenal for someone who only has 25 to 50% of her pancreas! Look at each of these hurdles/tests and tell me God hasn't performed a miracle! Some of you may look at this and say, 'Well, it was the doctor who did this', but who gave them the breath of life? Who determined that they would have the aptitude for learning such difficult procedures? Who granted them the wisdom and stamina to complete this surgery? God did of course! To suggest that this was a simple matter of statistics and random chance would be an insult. Not many of you know, but Amy's surgeon is the Chief of Surgical Oncology and he has two other partners. The day we switched, his two partners were out of town, one was on vacation and the other was at a conference. Was this luck or random chance? I don't think so, God's has been at work in this since day 1. God knew who her surgeon would be and as His wonderously magnificent plan unfolded, He left His fingerprints throughout each stage of this journey so there could be no doubt to how wide, how long, how high and how deep the love of Christ is for His children!

Ephesians 3: 14-21 - For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide...and long...and high...and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge - that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever!

This is Amy's story as seen and told by me - V
