Good news!

So here it is, the good news.  One of our doctors said the word "home" and Kasi has moved up to a low fat diet.  What this means is they are thinking the pancreatitus has gone through it's course, and the lower abdominal pain is coming from extra bacteria that is in her bowels.  We are hoping that the pain will go away after she is on an antibiotic for a bit.  Home will come as soon as she takes in enough calories, with her belly tolerating it and her numbers trending down.  We are at 108 right now and that is higher than we have been in a while, but not super high.  We will see what happens when we add some fat into her diet.  Pray it stays down and that she doesn't feel nausea after she eats.

Lamentations 3: 22-26
22 Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.
23 They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
24 I say to myself, “The LORD is my portion;
therefore I will wait for him.”
25 The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him,
to the one who seeks him;
26 it is good to wait quietly
for the salvation of the LORD.

We are in the waiting process but we have Hope in the One who holds it all in His hands!!  Good things are happening.  We had a great talk with her main doctor this morning who gave Kasi an encouraging word about her faith and her testimony to him.  He shared how has learned once again to praise God even in the middle of struggles.  We then gave him one of our gifts and he read her verse and said, "that is why you have done so well".  He sees God's strength in her and is open to talk to us about that.  We also told him how when we look at this it is only a moment in the whole big picture of things, and how this really impacts who we are in God, and how we grow into people who better reflect God's face.  Praise Him for people seeing that through this!!
