Thank you

[Guest guest]

I have to send a note to say Thank you.

 

Thank you to all of you who said a prayer, lit a candle, sent healing thoughts

or sent well wishes. There is a power higher than heaven and earth no matter

what we call it or how we celebrate it and for this I am grateful.

 

When I went to the hospital today, I found mom not only sitting up in bed but

she had eaten her dinner (and said the macaroni and cheese was very good) and

she was smiling. She is still far from out of the woods and I don't kid myself

that she is but it felt so good to see her with a smile on her face. Her sister

came down from Riverview to see her and that was so good for them both.

 

The results from her EGD came back and there was indeed a bleeding Ulcer but it

is healing itself and there will be no intervention. Her blood count is staying

stable for now. Her heart rate is still very erratic but that is due to the

congestive heart failure. Her blood pressure fluctuates somewhat and they watch

it very closely. No one has said anything about how long she will be there but

we'll take it one step at a time.

 

God does indeed answer prayer. If you could have been standing beside me you

would understand why I say that. She came as close to leaving as I want her to

for a while. The seizure was the worst kind that she could have had and could

very well have ended her life with her heart in the condition it is in. I guess

she still has some work to do here. She says that all she wants to do is to get

back to the nursing home where she can witness for the Lord. This has always

been my mothers greatest calling and she has always done it her entire life.

 

I just wanted to take a moment to say how very much I appreciate the outpouring

of love and concern that you have sent to me and my family. I will always be

grateful for your friendship and compassion.

 

Love to you all,

Evelyn
