Fasting and Prayer Really Work!


To all of us that fasted and prayed for Jordan, as her grandmother, I want to thank all of you. I visited Jordan today at the hospital. The surgery was done on Sunday morning. We were there to see her before her surgery. Grandpa and Uncle Matt gave her a Priesthood blessing. She looked so brave. We walked with her to the OR and then waited for the next 6 hours until the surgery was completed. They found and repaired a hole the size of a quarter.
We were there when they wheeled her back to her room. She was asleep, on a ventilator and had at least 4 chest tubes and it seemed a jillion IV's delivering all sorts of meds and fluids. She was totally sedated and asleep.

Just two days later, here is a picture that I took today. Notice her huge smile, and she is sitting up and even eating real food. Yes, your prayers and fasting were worth it. She still has a way to go before she comes home, but she is trying with all her might to come home as soon as possible.

I am so glad that she is doing well. She looks really good in that picture. I will make sure the kids read this blog post so they can see that their fasting really did make a difference (along with everyone else's of course!)

It definately does work, and there were so many from one side of the country to the other, literally, that were fasting and praying. The doctors were all amazed at how well she was looking and doing, and how strong she was being so sick, but we all know why ;)
