Update on Brooklyn Orrange (from their pastor who flew to London to care for the family...now THAT is being the hands & feet of Jesus!): " The doctors have Brooklyn on a children's dose of morphine, and she's resting comfortably. Courtney
is staying with her tonight. Brent, Sam, and I just got back to the hotel. What an incredible journey this has been. To see the Orranges reunited tonight and for Brooklyn to receive high-quality care was absolutely wonderful. Praise Jesus. All things considered, Brooklyn is doing well. She looks good, her kidneys are working well, and all the initial testing came back good. Overnight the doctors will be trying to get her blood levels more stable, search for and rule out infection, and evaluate the quality of her catheters. While I say that she is doing well, she is experiencing significant pain, primarily related to her catheters. Another complication over the last couple of days was Compartment Syndrome, which caused substantial swelling in her right arm. That swelling required a deep incision from her armpit to her wrist. That surgery is what has required the multiple blood transfusions. It will likely be a number of weeks for that wound to heal to the point that it can be permanently closed. Brent is overwhelmed by the number of angels in human form that God has provided at just the right times. I can't wait for Brent to have a chance to tell his stories. God was unbelievably kind, creative, and powerful in caring for and sustaining Brent. Please pray against further complications, which have really caused problems in the last week. Pray for supernatural rest for Brent tonight. Pray for emotional protection for Sam. It was really hard for him to see his sister hurting so badly tonight. He and I are reading Star Wars books, but apparently I do a terrible Yoda and C3PO so he has to do those parts." Please join us and keep praying for this precious family.....they've been reunited, but still have a long journey ahead of them! ♥
THANK YOU, LORD!
