John is doing pretty much the same as yesterday. The concerns the doctors have are the same. They want John to become more responsive, and they are watching his kidney function. Overall, they are not concerned, but there are just a few things that are on the radar.
I want to take some time to thank each and every person – our friends and family and all the people who we don’t even know – for sharing this burden with us this week and throughout this journey. I know that it is a heavy one, and I appreciate your love, care, concern, and prayers so much.
When John and I got married “two became one”. So when the other half of my being, my soul, my existence, my heart was slipping away I was heart broken and desperate. I would have done anything, given anything, for people to pray for him. I was on my hands and knees begging.
Thank you for hearing my cries, my begs, my pleads, and my desperation, and for coming to our aid in prayer. An infinite number of “thank yous” could never be enough to truly show you what it has meant to me and what it will mean to John when he wakes up and understands what he has been through.
Through seeing the response of so many people we know and don’t know who diligently pray for us, you have taught me how to be a better prayer warrior for others. When people ask me to pray for them I now know what their heart is feeling, how they are desperate for that need, and how I should selflessly spend my time in prayer for their needs. Thank you for showing me how to do this through your example.
John has not been fully conscious since last Sunday. He has lost a week, and so much has happened in that time. He does not know yet that it is over – that he has a new heart. And he has not experienced this outpouring of love like I have. I cannot wait to share it with him. I can see his face now, and he is going to be speechless.
As you know John is not quite out of the woods yet. We always appreciate your continued prayers for us as he continues to recover and go home. I will keep everyone updated each day.
Thank you, infinitely, thank you!
