The Sun is Shining Today
The sun really is shining today. I'm feeling great too! It's amazing how much better I feel when the sun is shining. Let's hope the sun is shining on Frank. The report this morning, is they have him kind of in an induced coma, or totally out, and will remain that way for a couple of days....so at least he isn't in pain. They were unable to get a central line in last nite, so they will consider a port today. He is on a vent, his lung hasn't inflated yet, and he does have a fractured rib and a new fracture of a vertebrae in his lower back. So it's real serious, and we need to say some serious prayers for him and his family. (For those of you who don't know Frank....he is the husband of my cousin Judy, and he was battling lung problems back when I had my big cancer scare in 1996...they eventually did a lung transplant on one lung, and then a few years ago, they also did a kidney transplant from his daughter Cathy. He is continually on anti rejection medications and has of late had to be on oxygen continually....yet he still keeps fighting back....they had planned on spending the winter in California with their daughter and family till this happened, and Cathy jumped in the car and helped drive them back home in that horrid weather last weekend, and then turned around and flew home to her 3 kids.) Love, thoughts and prayers, m

Hope you are staying warm and doing well. We think about you every day. Kathleen and Janet are true angels – you are blessed to have them.
ReplyDeleteBy the way – we lost our spot out in the country someplace – didn’t look too hard to find it but you know how dark it can get out here so I guess its gone for good. J
Love ya

Dear Mary,
ReplyDeleteWe have been on the road again, and out of touch, but you are right there on the top of my prayer list so I think of you often.
I just caught up with your blog, and if any spots remain you can put one down for me and one for Harry and we'll pray them out of existence. And if they are all spoken for, we'll be the insurance policy and pray for all of them to be gone, gone, gone!
We will keep up with you on the blog, as I am sure so many are. You continue to inspire us with your faith and your sharing, you are a blessing to us all!
God bless & keep you,
Linda & Harry
Hi Mary –
ReplyDeleteDick and I left MN on January 12th and had not been up to speed on you until Rosie emailed me this morning. WOW what a shock! I’m really MAD at all those spots and want to adopt one for sure. I think its great that you have probably exceeded the number of spots – doubling up is a good idea I think.
I feel so bad about how unpleasant the testing prep and experience went for you. Stop being so unusual, Mar!!!! I suppose somehow your body was directing the doctors to discover important information so your course of treatment could be appropriate.
Anyway, you and your family and all your wonderful support-friends are in our thoughts and prayers. You have a wonderful big world of friends and family and we are all rooting and praying.
Dick and I got to California in time for a week of RAIN!!! Not for over 25 years have they had it quite like this. The wonderful result, however, is a spectacular view of the snow-covered mountains that surround Palm Springs-Palm Desert. I got some “before” and “after” photos. Glorious! God’s hand! The week ahead looks perfect!
We will be here until mid March then drive to Sun City, AZ for about 5 days then head home. We may go via Sedona, depending on whether one of my friends who lives there is available for a visit.
Meanwhile, we’ll keep you in our prayers “Go spot! Go!!!”
Hi To Wyn – I’d love to do the reunion too!
Love to you,
Ann
