Mom had another paracentesis (draining of fluid) today in Exeter Hospital. They removed three liters of fluid. They were hesitant to remove more because Mom is scheduled to have a permanent drain put in on Monday morning. We aren't sure if this is the best option, so we covet your prayers in this decision making process. Mom is very tired and is not feeling well. Thank you for your prayers.
She asked me to put one of her favourite psalms on here to share with you. Lord, be close to Mom and to each one of us.
Psalm 121
A song of ascents.
1 I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
where does my help come from?
2 My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
where does my help come from?
2 My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
3 He will not let your foot slip—
he who watches over you will not slumber;
4 indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
he who watches over you will not slumber;
4 indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The Lord watches over you—
the Lord is your shade at your right hand;
6 the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.
the Lord is your shade at your right hand;
6 the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.
7 The Lord will keep you from all harm —
he will watch over your life;
8 the Lord will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.

8 the Lord will watch over your coming and going

tough decisions...but having a permanent drain will prevent the build-up accompanied by pain & discomfort don't you think?
