This is an addendum that you will want to read!
Quinn and I went home to warm up our supper (that our wonderful neighbor Jennifer had in our refrigerator) and Tony sent a text that said the doctor had given the order for the tube to come out! He asked me to bring the dinner to the hospital because no one wanted to leave. So... who says lasagna doesn't really work for a picnic dinner? We packed up our meal and back we went. It was the best medicine for our sore eyes! Isy was fully awake and whispering in full sentences. The sedation medicine had worn off. Although very, very weak, we definitely saw her personality shining through. One of the first things she did when I walked into the room is introduced Quinn and me to the nurse. The nurse tried not to laugh and said, "Yes, I've met your family. They've actually been here a few day while you were sleeping." : ) Then she proceeded to tell her what a good baseball player Quinn is. Hilarious. The nurse was so sweet with her. Isy was describing how awful the restraints on her wrists were. "I was an OR tech for years so I know not to pull out my tube but I couldn't get anyone to listen to me." LOL! The nurse had the perfect answer, "I'm so sorry that you remember you were restrained. I'm sure that was very uncomfortable." (Very well done Nurse Kim.)
Isy feels she is healed. There were a few tears. She's not sure why God allowed this family to go thru such struggles yet again and yet she was healed again, but her daughter/son and the babies weren't. She gives praise to God and wants all the credit to go to Him for healing her.
She is very, very weak and her words are 100% whispered. She is not able to have any visitors yet (basically outside of us) but when she gets home from the hospital I'm sure she will be happy to have people visit. Right now, they are concerned about her strength and endurance, and of course concerned that she will bleed again, so the little hostess lady (aka ICU Bouncer) won't let you in if you stop by. : ( You can send her a card though. She will love those!
Please continue to pray that she not re-bleed. She feels she is healed but her body will need to prove it to the health care pros in order to give her the one-way ticket to home.
Once again, our sincere THANK YOU for standing in the gap for Isy!

Praising God with you, Isy! God is so awesome and good! Will be keeping you in our prayers for a full and complete recovery. Look forward to seeing you, my dear friend! Love you
Dear Leah,
We want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your updates on Isy. We both travel and are often away from cell service, so your blog has been awesome for us. Since we are so far away, it makes us feel a little closer to our family. Please tell Isy and Don they are in our prayers. The extended Troyer family is also praying for them.
Love,
Robert and Margriet
