**I keep getting updates from Brielle's blog. It's www.briellemurray.com. **

Dear Family and Friends,

It is now 11:30 AM, and Brielle is finished with her MRi. She is now in the process of having the ventilator tubes removed from her throat.

PLEASE PRAY that this procedure will not be painful or frightening for Brielle. She will be awake as the tubes will be removed because she must be able to breathe on her own. Pray that the soreness in her throat will subside soon after the tubes are removed.

In His Care,

Terry & Sally

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6

It’ s now 9:30 AM and Brielle is having an MRI...

The doctors concern is that there will be no bleeding in the areas where surgery was performed. The plan will be to remove Brielle’s ventilator tube, within the next hour. They must take Brielle off sedation, and make sure she can breathe by herself, before they can remove the tubes. Pray that her heart will not be anxious for this procedure. With the ventilator removed, it will allow Brielle to be much more comfortable, and to be able to talk. Please pray that her throat will have minimal or no pain, and that the pain medication will be administered correctly today, tonight, and for the remainder of her stay at UCI.

Pray for peace of mind for Jim and LIsa, and for the Lord to refresh them both physically and spiritually. We praise God for Aunt Heidi, who stayed up watching over Brielle all night until 6:00 AM this morning, so that Jim and Lisa could get some sleep, as they were exhausted. We praise God for Heidi’s prayers over B, and for her ability to help with her physical needs and for her to remain calm in the midst of her pain, confusion and fear.

Please continue to pray for Brielle’s recovery from her surgery and for her to be free from pain.

Pray that Brielle will remain trusting of the hospital staff and soft-hearted through this healing process, as she was severely traumatized by last nights events.

Your prayers are so much appreciated, and we are all so grateful for your lovingkindness and encouragement.
