Day 3 In Syracuse...

Here are 6 minutes of footage from our last Boston trip in what we thought was Meg's last surgery...until she fell Sunday. As I write this it is 10pm on Wednesday, and Meg has just received two units of blood. Apparently her blood loss from the surgery last week in Boston, compounded with what she lost in Syracuse really depleted her and she was unable to recover sufficiently. PT came in her room about 4pm determined to get her sitting up on the side of her bed, but because the pain was still so intense she had to immediately lay back down. I phoned just after this and she was still crying. She really is being a trooper, but the pain is getting real old, and she is hoping for some relief. As you're praying for her, please pray about the pain situation, including the pain in her neck. The 'pain team' may be giving her an injection in the scar area of her neck tomorrow to help alleviate the pain in that area. All in all the care has been very good and everyone is really trying to help Meghan. Of course Momma is also tired and trying to comfort Meghan any way she can. We SOOOOOO APPRECIATE YOUR PRAYERS and your concern for Meghan and our family. We are so grateful to know and be friends with some the greatest people on planet earth. We love you all so much!

Hey! I'm praying for you all up here in Ottawa, for grace and peace that transcends all ... thank you for keeping everyone updated. Meghan has been so strong with all she has gone through ... she's definitely one of my heroes.
Love you all!
