Continue to Pray for Candace

Continue to pray for Candace. She had an emergency surgery last night and this afternoon.

If this is the first you have read on her, please see my post below. The last update from her webpage says:

"Candace is out of surgery and is resting this evening. Surgeons removed infected muscle and tissue and now her vital signs are looking a little better. The infection has been detected to be a "Beta Strep Infection" that has gone out of control causing "septisimia" and eating away muscle and soft tissue. Candace has been left open at several surgery sites and has received transfusions. These sites will be worked on daily to remove infection until we are out of the woods. Please pray for physical stability that may end the countless surgeries and pray also for the antibiotics to take effect."

Though the circumstances are very different, it brings back many memories of our daughter's long ICU stay after her 2 open heart surgeries. Even the pictures seem so similiar. Our children have said the same thing seeing Candace's pictures on their webpage. We are sure this family is very weary after this long week of several surgeries and staying close to their daughter's bedside.
