She is out of sadation but very drowzy. Her heart is doing well. The dialysis machine for her kidney was also removed from her. Pray that her kidney will function well. Please continue to pray for full recover.

Also, I got this later (it's now Monday but I wrote most of this yesterday..how confusing):
This is truly a miracle from God.

The dialysis machine has been removed from her for nearly 2days now and doctors are fairly happy with kidney functions.
The dialysis machine has been removed from her for nearly 2days now and doctors are fairly happy with kidney functions.
All sedations were stopped about 3.30pm yesterday and she isnow in semi-conscious state, able to hear and sign with her finger and hand grip– which was an important result for the doctor.
Joshua, Nathan and I were able to speak to her (on Mother’s Day!!!) and through her slipping in and out of consciousness, she responded with tears and hand signs (how good isthis??)
She is still in ICU and feeling weak and drowsy, as expected.
Please continue to pray for:
- Kidney functions to recover fully
-Heart to remain strong
-Miraculous healing of the left heart valve
-That her breathing will completely be independent of aid
-Wisdom to surgeon and staff
REJOICE our God is good!
God’s love, joy and peace to all.
Thank you for praying for Eleanor.

Now for my random thoughts. I thought we'd record a lot more of our thoughts and challenges but usually when we find time to write I've forgotten what's happened. Hopefully we can share more of what God's teaching us over here in the future. Needless to say we are constantly being challenged about living in community and loving our neighbours, breaking down pre-conceived ideas in both directions and learning to live as we're supposed to.
Having a lazy day. Lach went biking today - I'm a little worried because our friends went yesterday and Sean broke his arm. Cry.
We are heading to Whistler next weekend - long weekend for Victoria Day. Looking forward to getting away and *finally* seeing Whistler. You'd think we'd have been to the snow but no...we never made it there during Winter.
Took some pics with Flat Isabel (have you read Flat Stanley?). Was fun. Which reminds me, I've gotta write a 'letter' and send off the pictures.
Have been watching the cruise ships come and go. Looking forward to Lach's parents coming over in August/September. Also been looking up flights to meet up with the Bachmann's in the U.S of A :-) Yippee!!!
It's my little sister's 21st birthday on Tuesday...well, Monday for me. How scarey! I still think she's 12. Sorry Spekkles. They had a surprise 50th/21st party for my Uncle and Spek (they have the same bday) Looks like it was heaps of fun and we're sorry we didn't get to see Nathan back at home.
That's it, I'm out of things to say. Friends are going to Flight of the Conchords tonight. We're not, but it would've been GREAT! haha.
Here are some pics of our view - Lach was creative and stitched some together for you :-)
Ps. Sorry if the font comes out funny - I can't make it go normal for some reason.
