For those wondering how my friend Esther (mentioned in a previous post) is doing...

Health-wise, she is still recovering, but doing well.  Her digestive track is still working on getting back to normal, but everything else has healed well.  Financially, her medical bills turned out to be $38,000, not covered by insurance.  She applied for financial aid, and she found out today that the hospital is only going to charge her about $875 of the $38,000 she owes.  What a miracle!!

To add to that, a church she has been attending this summer has raised some money for her, and they told her today that they will be able to cover that $875.  Now she only has a few minor, non-hospital bills to deal with.  Praise God!!  He is good :)
