Day 16 Evening

Well all you wonderful praying friends and family of Gracie,good news today... She is finally out of ICU !!! Now dont go planning a visit just yet, she is not up to it yet, but we will let you know when she is ready for visitors. :) She has had a very busy day, what with moving into new premises and decorating. Yes, we now have pictures of friends and family on her walls. If you would like your pic there send it to us and we will add it to the wall. Also if you want to send her a paper note, as opposed to face book, send us a postit note and well put that up too. Anyway, so after decorating and entertaining the doctors and new nurses she finally had time for a refreshing shower. Gracie decided to walk there, which to you and to me might be nothing, but to someone who has been in bed for 2 weeks solid, it is a huge thing. She did very well. As I went out to lunch I asked if she would like me to bring her back anything special. She said, 'a slushy!' well she isnt allowed those yet but I think I brought her back something even better because Christie had arrived from Bathurst. (thanks once again Heather). Christie is having a sleepover with Gracie tonight. The doctors in this new area are very happy for Grace to have a family member stay to help keep her comfortable. For this we praise God with all our hearts. So all in all tonight is a night of praise and thankfullness to our wonderful God for working wonders and bringing Gracie to this point. She has. Long road ahead and it will be some time still before she is out of hospital I think. We will continue to pray and to take one day at a time and praise God fornthe many blessings of each day. Please join me in doing so.
