MOM HAD A TERRIBLY PAINFUL NIGHT LAST NIGHT..TODAY, WITH THE LORDS HELP AND OUT OF HER
PURE DETERMINATION, TO OUR SURPRISE, SHE GOT UP AROUND
3:00... (we ate shortly afterwards, while she still had the strength,
Cassie had to feed her tonight, and even at that she only ate about 10 bites)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Then she had Norman Joseph (our son) to play his guitar and sing
for her.. Ah, the pain eased up some on her face and she mouthed a
few of the words from time to time. (however at one time she told my brother
John as she was pointing here and there to the ceiling...
"they are all up there listening"
Jenna said that every time she wakes up at night, she wants to here
"Amazing Grace", so they play her CD for her..
"GOD BLESS AND COMFORT HER PLEASE"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They added some more bulbs to her tree this morning.. and ask
her again today if the tree was good for her.. she said, it will be when
you get some more gold beads on it.. I told them that I have some and
will bring them tomorrow, and that I wasn't going out to my building tonight
to try to find them.. to our surprise she said, NO, I don't want you in the
building tonight! So, I made it plain to her that I will look tomorrow.
They told me that she hollered for me at 4:30 this morning..
(she seems to think I should always be there also)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TODAY SHE HAD JENNA, JIM, CASSIE, SERAIYE, SHANNON,
JOHN, JONI, ASHLEY, NORMAN JOSEPH, LEISA, NATHAN, ABIGAIL,
JEFF, NORMAN, AND ME, THEN GENE, FRANCES, AND WHITNEY
CAME LATER..... OH DID WE HAVE LOTS OF FOOD!
ha, 20 with Mom
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
JENNA, JOHN, JONI, AND ASHLEY WERE THERE LAST NIGHT
WITH AND FOR HER, AND WILL BE AGAIN TONIGHT,
THANKS EVERYBODY!
