Joyce has been in a deep restful sleep so far today. The morning was rough tho. Last Wednesday she had a catheter put in which never stopped bothering her. This morning her nurse agreed with us that it would be best for it to be removed. We'll stick with diapers from her on out. The moment it was removed Joyce calmed and relaxed and went to sleep. That was about 6 hours ago and she's still resting quietly.
The house has been quiet today as well. We've all been able to take a deep breath and rest as well. Our watching "angels" continue round the clock to sit with Joyce and we are so greatful for their love and care. Our God is an awesome God! How good it is to see the Lord's love for Joyce in action thru His servants.
More later - Pat

Pastor Pat,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your continued sharing on your blog. Pastor Mark read your posting from 12:30am this morning during service. We prayed and continue to pray for you all. Pastor Miles was great in reinforcing the need for us all to be focused on eternity. In addition to the friends and family, When my mom was sick, I was also touched by the love and committed service of the nurses, as I am sure you are with the hospice nurse. They were another of the Lord's blessings I will never forget. I learned a lot about servant hood by observing them.
Love,
Kyle & Ayna
You and Joyce are great SON reflectors, why? Because you know it isn't about you, it is about God and His glory, honor and praise. Your church is loving and praying you through.
ReplyDeleteSweet Buelah Land, Joyce...Sweet Beulah Land. Until we can all reunite... God's Love to you all
ReplyDeleteWe continue to lift you up in prayer. We are glad you had the catheter taken out. Catheters can cause infections and Joyce doesn't need that discomfort. May you be comforted by the Lord and the people that are helping you out. May God's grace shine through them and we pray that they are able to minister to you too.
ReplyDeleteAnd now, Lord, what do I wait for?
ReplyDeleteMy hope is in You.
I have prayed for you and Joyce for so long and I will continue to lift you up daily. You have definately walked the walk and your faith in the midst of what's happening to you is an incredible testimony. Sandy
ReplyDeleteEvery day we use your experience as a testimony to others all around us here. We speak of you everywhere we go, and how the Father is so amazingly glorified in this journey. Thank for allowing us all to take part in this with you all...

I love you Pat and Joyce. I will continue to pray God's will and timing. Joyce taught me so much, not just through words but by example too. Many are going to miss her...
