Updates on Kristi Anthony - 11/30

Posted by Jay at 7:45pm:  "Please join us to pray that we have an "active" and good day tomorrow. This has been a sleepy day; I think that Kristi was too busy yesterday. God is Good and He is in Control! - Jay"

Posted by Jay at 3:30pm:  "Many people are asking about our move to another facility so I will try my best to outline it: We are waiting on Zale Lisphy to send a nurse by to evaluate Kristi Welch Anthony to see if she can be accepted into acute rehab. BCI (Baylor) will not do an evaluation until she is off of the vent. If neither accept her then we will have to go to a LTAC first. We need to EP Cardiologist to BELIEVE what he is seeing and approve the implant (ICD) so please pray for these specifics! - WE MUST KEEP Kristi protected from infections so please come and visit us (we need that) but if you have been sick or around sickness please understand that Kristi cannot be exposed to that. The doctors are concerned due to the influenza season. I hope everyone understands. An infection would be a major issue. God is in Control! Thank you all for EVERYTHING that you are doing. There are SO many caring people in this world. - Jay"

Posted by Jay at 8:10am:  Please pray that we can get the doctors to approve the ICD (the implanted pacer-defibrillator) BEFORE we leave the hospital. We had to be able to justify "progress and improvement" before the doctors would order that. God has granted both progress and improvement. It is scary to think that Kristi Welch Anthony would have to go through another surgery and be sedated again but it has to be done since KRISTI IS GOING TO BE HEALED. The neurologist has instructed the EP Cardiologist of his approval to do the implant so now the decision rests with the EP (Shapiro and ultimately Edwards)..Pray specifically PLEASE. - Jay
 
Posted at 8:05am:  After the neurologist examined Kristi Welch Anthony this morning she smiled that beautiful smile right at me. She is starting to have some pain and discomfort, which is hard to watch, but it is a sign that she is more alert. Words cannot express the emotions that each person felt when Kristi flashed that smile directly at them yesterday...EVERYONE broke out into tears. Our God is an AWESOME God! Thank you all for your kind words, gifts, and mostly PRAYERS (please keep those going constantly). I want to be certain that ALL of the glory goes to our Father. Many people have told me that we have been so strong through this BUT I can tell you FOR CERTAIN that it is NOT us...this is GOD's strength that he has blessed us with during this trial. There is no way that we could have held it together so please make sure that God gets ALL of the credit for ALL of the GREAT things that have happened. HE IS FAITHFUL. GOD IS IN CONTROL. - The Anthony's
