The prayers worked! Cathy is doing better today.

Praise God, Cathy is doing better today. I called my grandmother and she said Cathy has improved since last night.
At 1am, Cathy’s fever broke, leading to her 99 degree temperature today as opposed to her 102 degree temperature yesterday. Her blood pressure has risen from 80 over 39 to 101 over 40, making it a small, but significant improvement. Her skin is no longer pale and she has some color back in her face. They tried to take her off the respirator, but she was having trouble, so they put her back on it, but that’s okay because there’s no need for her to rush this. She needs to take this slowly so God can take time to revitalize her.
Thank you for all of your prayers and encouraging comments. Every single one of them means so much to me.
Little by little, Cathy is showing those doctors how stubborn she really is. I’m not surprised by the fierce spirit God has bestowed upon her. She is my cousin, after all. :)
Here’s a psalm that was given to me by a church after I submitted my prayer request for Cathy. I’ve bolded the parts which I feel directly parallel this situation:
Psalm 103 (A psalm of David) (New Living Translation)
1-Let all that I am praise the LORD;
with my whole heart, I will praise
his holy name.
2-Let all that I am praise the LORD;
may I never forget the good things
he does for me.
3-He forgives all my sins
and heals all my diseases.
4-He redeems me from death
and crowns me with love and tender
mercies.
5-He fills my life with good things.
my youth is renewed like the
eagle’s.
6-The LORD gives righteousness
and justice to all who are treated unfairly.
7-He revealed his character to Moses
and his deeds to the people of Israel.
8-The LORD is compassionate and merciful,
slow to get angry and filled with unfailing
love.
9-He will not constantly accuse us,
nor remain angry forever.
10-He does not punish us for all our sins;
he does not deal harshly with us, as we
deserve.
11-For his unfailing love toward those who fear
him
is as great as the height of the heavens
above the earth.
12-He has removed our sins as far from us
as the east is from the west.
13-The LORD is like a father to his children,
tender and compassionate to those
who fear him.
14-For he knows how weak we are;
he remembers we are only dust.
15-Our days on earth are like grass;
like wildflowers, we bloom and die.
16-The wind blows, and we are gone—
as though we had never been here.
17-But the love of the LORD remains forever
with those who fear him.
His salvation extends to the children’s
children
18-of those who are faithful to his covenant,
of those who obey his commandments!
19-The LORD has made the heavens his throne;
from there he rules over everything.
20-Praise the LORD, you angels,
you mighty ones who carry out his plans,
listening for each of his commands.
21-Yes, praise the LORD, you armies of angels
who serve him and do his will!
22-Praise the LORD, everything he has created,
everything in all his kingdom.
Let all that I am praise the LORD.
