Latest on Abby
by Greg Linscott
Many have been asking how our daughter is doing after surgery. Here is the latest.
Abby came home Friday afternoon. She continues to be strong in spirit, and is getting there in body. She has some lingering numbness in her legs after the epidural, but that was taken care of quickly.
Jennifer gave good reports overall on both Abby’s recovery and behavior while in the hospital. While recovering in the hospital, Abby completed five crafts, and managed to get her normal (and hearty) appetite back rather quickly.
Since they removed the catheter, she has experienced a bit of discomfort when she empties her bladder, which the doctor says is normal. Still, it has been a bit unpleasant for her. She should be getting some prescribed drugs that will help ease that pain soon, though.
Jennifer is resting as I type. She needs to catch up on her rest, and is glad to be home. In room guest beds are never particularly comfortable- I’m sure that’s even less true at 8 months pregnant!
Thanks all for your prayers and encouragement. It is much appreciated. This scenario has made me very thankful for the overall good health we enjoy by God’s grace!

Great news (and pictures!). We praise the Lord for answered prayer.
Thanks for the update. Praise the Lord.
Amen. I am glad that everything is going well.
Thanks for the update, Greg. Good news! Will keep praying for Abby’s recovery and comfort.
By the way, the picture of you reading in the background made me smile. I’m just surprised it wasn’t a laptop you were gazing at. 🙂
I was reading The Last Battle (Narnia) to her while she waited to be wheeled into surgery. We’ve been reading the books out loud for several weeks now. It’s been great fun!
I’m glad to hear things went well!
Thanks Greg. I’ll keep praying. I also read the entire Chronicles of Narnia series to my kids a few years ago. It was a delight. (I trust you are pointing out some of the theological problems with “The Last Battle.” 🙂
I’m glad to hear she’s doing better. The Lord is gracious to answer our prayers.
I love Reece’s pieces too.
What are you reading?
We just finished chapter 7 of The Last Battle. We are having some good discussions- though we haven’t come to the main theological problem of TLB just yet.
