Ok, sorry for the delay. Yes we are still here and Peg is doing great. She walked twice yesterday. A couple of praise reports...* No need for blood transfusion
* Heart rate & blood pressure have normalized
* Pain is subsiding
* no more nausea
She got two of the three chest tubes out and they have been starting to give her pills, instead of injections for her medications. They have cut off the epidural, partly because it came out and partly because she doesn't need it any more. Here goals today include, 3 walks, pain control with pills, and regular, well, um, just being regular, you know. :-)
I personally was feeling wiped out last night and actually sleep alot this morning. That's why I got delayed in updates.
The doctor says that maybe the other chest tube will come out later today, which is a major step towards going home. Two friends stopped by yesterday, Julie and Amy. It was fun for Peg to spend some time with them. They have been praying and encouraging Peg along the way.
Thanks for all the love, support and prayers!
Blessings, Larry

It was great to see you!! You have such a sweet spirit and God is so visible in you, You are a beautiful Lady! I hope you will be coming home tomorrow, but more importantly when it's His time for you to get to go home! Pastor Larry, I will pray for you to feel rested even when you are not, and as difficult and trying our kids can be at times just remember to LOVE ALL OVER THEM constantly when you both get home. I am sure they deeply miss you both !! Have a great Thanksgiving, you have sooooo much to be thankful for!!

Hi Peggy,
I just got off the phone with you and I am so blessed by your gentle and genuine spirit. You make so many smile. Me and my family love you and your family so very much. I truly felt that as the surgeon was sewing you up and saying,"We're finished here", God was also saying,"I'm all done here, you are completely healed my faithful and precious daughter. HALLELUJAH !! Can't wait to see you back at home. May God bless you as you bless others. Love you Peggy. Dennis, Lauri, & the 3 M's
Peggy,
My thoughts and prayers will continue to be with you as you begin the final healing process. Your smiling face says it all! You are a great women of faith, strength and love. May you truly enjoy a Thanksgiving that's full of blessings. May God's strength fill you up.
Love to you and your family,
Donna Hess
