Praising HIM!

-
Justin is out of surgery and doing well! He is fast asleep in ICU. They want him to sleep all night to help him recover. They will work on the ventilator coming off in the morning. Dr. Del Nido really wanted to give his body time to rest.


The rest of us are better now. Going to get some rest tonight and look forward to the day tomorrow. We do understand that the recovery process is long, but we have been carried through it before.


Most importantly - We do not want to neglect Thanking the LORD for bringing us through this. He has had HIS hand on us for quite sometime now. We have felt HIS love and feel HIS presence. I think we will all sleep better tonight. So, if you can tonight - Just say a prayer of thanksgiving to the Lord for Justin, his health, the doctor and his wisdom, and for his saving power of salvation.

We are all praying over at the Holley house. The kids know sort of what is going on, and we are all still praying hard. We hope to see you all home safe very soon. We love you very much.

Room Service

-
Justin has been moved to a room this morning!  He is doing great!  All of the doctors and nurses are very excited about his progress.  Before leaving ICU, they removed most of his “stuff” (except for one IV).  This allow him to move around more freely, which is the next step.  Justin will be getting up and walking around this afternoon.  He is also just starting to eat again.  If you think about it, he hasn’t had anything since Monday night supper.  So, it will be like learning how to eat after the stomach virus.  We are praying this doesn’t make him sick.  They will also be giving pain medicine by mouth, so we are also praying that his pain continues to stay under control! He is making such great progress!  I think he is far ahead, especially with moving around, than he was this far out of last year with his surgery!  That is exciting!  Praising the Lord for this! Loving your comments, I read them to Justin as he is dozing in and out.  I can’t wait to read them to him when he is

Update and Welcome

I know that many of you are new to our blog, so welcome! Justin and I enjoy blogging about our lives, but I know that many of you have just joined us for surgery. So, please stay tuned for the rest of our lives as well! Justin is doing well. He has rested most of the day. He also sat up in a chair for an HOUR! He said his chest pain was fine, but he couldn't get his neck comfortable in that chair ( because he wanted to SLEEP!) He has been a great patient and has his normal humor. He also has comments that make little to no sense and probably won't remember most of this! Funny Comments from Justin today - Mrs. Anita was talking to Justin and finally said, "I think you're sleeping, so I'm going to leave you along. " to which Justin replied (With eyes closed) - "I can multitask!" Mom was cracking jokes by his bed and said, "I guess you don't think this is funny." And I said, "That's ok , right Justin, that is how we tal

Congrats to . . . 1. Suzy, my cousin, for guessing the name before the last letter was released!  She was the first to send in the correct answer! 2. Chris and Paige; Chad and Ashley; and Lindsay for sending in correct answers on the blog!  Great job to Paige for being creative in her posting! 3. Ashley V. for texting in the correct answer! 4. Mrs. Donna for knowing before the last letter was posted and just heard the letters during choir practice! 5. Larry Swords for correctly guessing through a verbal guess! Charles Elliot McMillen will be joining us in a few short months!  It sounds even closer when you count it in weeks – 15 more weeks to go! Charles – Justin’s father and grandfather both had the first name of Charles!  Charles means strong, manly; valiant one. Elliot – Jehovah is my God – When we first talked about the name, we were still talking about other options until we found the meaning!  We love the meaning of his name! Thank you for playing along in ou
