Continued Prayer

 This post below was made by Anna's father a few hours ago (early morning Saturday):

"Where ever you are in the world at this time of day please hold Anna up to our gracious and loving Father. Brian Peterson just called to report that Anna has experienced a seizure and the medical team has sedated her and taken her back for a cat scan. Pray for wisdom and alertness on the part of the techs and the doctors. Pray that Brian would lean hard on the Lord and allow Holy Spirit to minister to him. Pray that Anna will respond to the Lords healing in her mind and body."

The post below was an update from Anna's mother last night: 

I am home from the hospital – it is 11:23 pm I am praising God because at 9:10 pm Anna opened her eyes. She held them open for about 10 minutes, then closed them. But about 5 minutes later she opened them again and when I left at 10:15 they were still open. She tracked with Brian for a little bit and when he showed her a picture of Micah and explained that he had been born, her eyes teared. Before opening her eyes she was very agitated and called: "Mama". When I went over and took her hand she squeezed it tight and then nuzzled her had into my shoulder.

Once she opened her eyes, she became very calm.

Praise God, Praise God from whom all blessings flow.

Once again she still has a long way to go but each day brings more progress.
The next major prayer request besides the brain continuing to wake up, the kidneys functioning efficiently, the heparin dose regulated, and her blood numbers to continue to normalize, is that when they take the pic line out of her neck, that they do it with skill and that the bleeding is very minimal. Because she is on blood thinner she is at greater risk to bleed. They are suppose to take it out between now and the morning.
Again, please continue to pray for no infection. Pray that as she wakes more fully, she isn't frightened by the look of her arms and torso.

And please pray for the children. Nathan will be 5 on Monday so pray we can celebrate his birth with great joy.

Once again, thank you and please give God all the honor and glory
