Message Eight

Keep it brief- it's Sunday.

The word for today is sleep.  Elizabeth slept for the whole day with the odd squeeze of a hand.  She still has some infection and a raised temperature, but generally she was much more settled today than yesterday.  She now has only one cannula in her wrist and her blood pressure is stable.  Cousin Emma was with her most of the day.

The whole of the hospital seemed very sleepy and deserted.

  1. Hi, I dont know Elizabeth but I am part of the family at the Well. I have been praying for her. I felt to share something with you as encouragement. 9 years ago a friend of my husband suddenly collapsed unconscious-a young fit man. He was on the Neuro ward at the Hallamshire, unconscious with swelling of his brain and the medics expected the worst. We went in to pray for him ( I hadnt met him before this) and I felt God gave me real hope for him and a sense of the light of Heaven shining on him. On day 6 he woke up and made an amazing recovery. He encountered God in this time and his life changed. I have the same sense of hope and Heaven's light shining for Elizabeth. There is a journey ahead and a process but joy and life and light can be found each day in small things and when it's dark keep hold of the hope and light of Jesus. Nothing is impossible with him. Love,Mary

  3. Hi,

    I'm Alex, I'm going to be Liz's housemate for this year (I am not in Sheffield yet). Adam told me what happened and I have been following this blog since the day he sent it to me. I'm really sorry for what happened to her, but I am confident she will recover. I've met Liz in the past and she is a good, brave, funny and well-educated person. She's going to win this fight, I know she will.

    All my thoughts go to Liz and her family during this difficult time. Keep being positive. Stay strong.
    Love,
    Alex

  4. Just wanted you to know that there is a whole prayer chain in Cardiff (at Albany Road Baptist Church) praying for Elizabeth. Not because we know her but because Genevieve from Sheffield University's Christian Union does. We are her home church. Thank you that you are enabling others to understand her progress through this blog at what must be such a hard time. We are praying for her, for a full recovery, and for you as family and friends as you go through this. Asking that God will hold you all gently in His hands and bring you through

  6. Thank you so much for writing this blog. It has taken away some of the unknown and uncertainty of what is happening to Elizabeth and allowed me to pray more specifically. It brings me great comfort to know that I can hear how she is doing without bothering anyone. I am crying out to God for her and you all. I cannot wait to sing praises and discuss Harry Potter plot points with her again. Blessings, Anny (friend from the Well) xxx
