Bill Hanford Notice 4

Ginger just called with an update. Her car has been mended and she was able to drive to her sister-in-law's house to get some sleep tonight. She's very tired even though she slept at a motel last night. I would say she's emotionally exhausted. May God sustain her through what her life is today.

She was with Bill from 900am - 600pm. He is now off the respirator and several tubes/etc. have been removed. His kidneys (which were a grave concern) are working fine right now. Ginger watched the swelling reduce hourly. Honestly, she said when she first saw him he looked like Jabba the Hutt. He is able to talk with her now. Everything seems to be going well. God is good.

Father God, we thank You and praise You for the work You are doing in the lives of Ginger and Bill and all the medical/support teams working to bring Bill back to health. The surgeon told Ginger when he saw Bill's valve and the palpatations of his heart, he felt certain that he had a very, very short time to live. God's timeing often waits until the last second as a way of our knowing God's hand was on the problem. To God be the glory.
