A Big Thank You from 12-year-old's Family

About 2 weeks ago (see link here), we asked for major prayers for a 12-yr-old going through major rib cage surgery.

Here is the family's "Thank You" for your prayers...these are their words, not mine...

"A special thank you to all of you who have prayed for our granddaughter, Elena, and her family. Her surgery was September 27.  She was in the hospital for three days and then discharged.  They stayed in Arizona for an additional 10 days to monitor her healing.  She and her parents arrived home on Sunday, October 9.  Elena is doing well.  God blessed the surgeon’s hands and he was able to insert two rods that are attached to her rib cage to allow her rib cage to begin growing forward.  It also relieved the pressure on her heart and she looks well.  Elena has a lot of discomfort but it gets better every day.  She will be out of school until the discomfort is reduced and her fatigue has decreased.  We are very proud of her for enduring all of this with a positive attitude.

A special “Thank you”  to all of YOU for your prayers.  We certainly felt all of them.  We will continue to pray for all of you in thanksgiving for the spiritual comfort that you provided.

Thank you, Lord, for the blessings you have bestowed on our family. You have provided us with more than we could ever have imagined. You have surrounded us with people who offered prayers for the healing of Elena.   Please continue blessing all of these wonderful people  in thanksgiving for all of their prayers.  Thank you, God, for prayers answered!"
