Blessing and Prayers

As a lot of you guys already know, my sister (not my youngest that most of you have met..) had to go in for an emergency surgery last night. She has two sweet little girls at home and a loving husband and was rushed to surgery last night upon finding out that she had an ectopic pregnancy that has been causing her pain for about a month. Unfortunately, she had an underlying symptom that caused the doctors to miss it at first. The pregnancy put strain on the fallopian tube which in turn pulled the appendix and moved her rectum as well which caused the intense pain she suffered at irregular intervals. They had to remove the fallopian tube with the pregnancy in it because it had ruptured and was completely irreparable. They also noticed that the appendix was under strain and therefore inflamed so they took that out as well to save her another surgery within the week. Her mother-in-law was blessed enough to fly out first thing this morning to be with her family to help with the girls. Her youngest daughter, Ella hadn't been able to take a bottle up until this time - but her grandmother worked her magic and she had her first bottle while her mother was still at the hospital. I know many of you have been thinking about her and praying for her - thank you so much! The power of prayer is an amazing thing and we are so lucky and blessed to have it in our lives and to be able to exercise and ask for His help. Once again, thank you so much to everyone! Those of you with younger siblings, you know how you feel as though you need to protect them - so naturally I was afraid for her to have to go into a surgery and basically have her life saved.
