Update 7/15/04 1:55pm

 

Erin Hope came through her surgery very well last night (early this morning). The Doctor(s) reported that everything went very well. Within two hours after the procedure she was eating ice chips. That middle name she has was appropriately given.

Today the Doctor(s) have performed an MRI of her brain and only see one small area of question. They (Doctors) feel that her response is appropriate. It is thought that Erin Hope may be moved later today to a non-PICU room. She is eating yogurt and apples and doing well.

Below I included a poem I came across today that I wanted to share. The final line rings true time and time again.

Uncle John

Chamber of Prayer


Lord God take me there
Where You and I can share
Our intermost thoughts in prayer
With all my problems bare

For as I seek Your face
You lift me with Your grace
You surround me with Your light
And give me renewed sight

Lord God take me there
Where You and I can share
Your Kingdom yet to come
And the love we have for Your Son

The peace and calm You give
Almost seems unreal
Then I remember the place
You've brought me with Your grace

It is when You take me there
To that secret Chamber of Prayer
And expecting a miracle there
You show how much You care

Lord God gently lead me there
To that secret Chamber of Prayer
Shower me with Your fountain
Miracles in answered prayer
