POST-OP X3days

Disheartening news.... Natalia is now completely off the Iv's and getting up to use the commode. She is still very tired and wears herself out. She is on oral meds around the clock, and her pain is overall well managed. Today was a tough day for her, she didn't move to the wheelchair as efficient as she should, and is extremely discouraged. We were scheduled to leave today, but because Natalia doesn't move with the level of confidence that they like to see, we have to wait....hopefully until tomorrow. Yesterday, the look in her eyes as described by one nurse was petrified because of fear.....the level of anxiety was through the roof. As we tackle the hurdle of fear, it is smaller than yesterday, but still very much present. Today, she worked hard and accomplished a lot.....but not enough to make the cut....:( To watch her work hard to make it to the edge of the bed and come thisclose to getting to her destination, then allowing fear to take over and shut her down is devastating......but GOD...HE IS BIGGER than this...there is ALWAYS tomorrow! The Lord JESUS is in control.... Please continue to pray for her bone to heal and grow, for Natalia to gain her strength, and her confidence. For her fears to be conquered in the name of Jesus! FOR GOD HAS NOT GIVEN NATALIA A SPIRIT OF FEAR...BUT OF LOVE, POWER, AND A SOUND MIND....IN JESUS NAME! Hebrews 13:6, 8 So we say with confidence,“The Lord is Natalia's helper; she will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to her?” Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. John 14:27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. Psalm 118:1, 5-7, 14 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever. When hard pressed, I cried to the Lord; he brought me into a spacious place. The Lord is with me; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me? The Lord is with me; he is my helper. I look in triumph on my enemies. The Lord is my strength and my defense; he has become my salvation. Psalm 3:3-6 But you, Lord, are a shield around Natalia, her glory, the One who lifts her head high. She call out to the Lord, and he answers her from his holy mountain. She lies down and sleeps; She wake again, because the Lord sustains her. She will not fear though tens of thousands assail her on every side.
