Help Needed

Hi everyone,
Greg, Karen and I are going to have a meeting with Mom's doctor's today at 4:00 P.M., we would appreciate your prayers for this meeting. That we have wisdom in the questions that we ask and that the doctors would be forthcoming in their answers and the information they give us regarding Mom's health.

Also, one of Mom's doctors told her yesterday that she needed to start thinking about where she would like to go for rehab. We would love to hear from those of you who are in the Dallas / Fort Worth area, that may have had excellent or less than good experiences with Rehab centers in our area. With Karen living in Irving & working in Dallas, Greg in Mansfield and me in West Fort Worth, we are open to whatever facility will offer the BEST care for Mom.

Mom is slowing making some progress, however, her lung function is still terribly compromised. Mom walked with a walker out to the nurses station and back 2 times yesterday. None of us were there at the time, so we can only go by her report that she did fine... At present, Mom has a great attitude and spirit.

Thank you for your continued prayers for healing. Please pray that she will be able to retain her great muscle tone and strength. Of course, with each passing day, this becomes more of an issue. Mom has received a huge outpouring of emails and cards. She has been bolstered by the knowledge that she has so many people who love and care about her. For that we are eternally grateful.

In His Embrace,
Jean and Family

  3. Aunt Jeannie,

    I have been following this blog and giving it to Mom & Val so that they can keep up. Everyone here is praying for you.

    I thought of this old Hymn. I have always loved it.

    WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS

    What a friend we have in Jesus,
    All our sins and griefs to bear!
    What a privilege to carry
    Everything to God in prayer!
    Oh, what peace we often forfeit,
    Oh, what needless pain we bear,
    All because we do not carry
    Everything to God in prayer!

    Have we trials and temptations?
    Is there trouble anywhere?
    We should never be discouraged—
    Take it to the Lord in prayer.
    Can we find a friend so faithful,
    Who will all our sorrows share?
    Jesus knows our every weakness;
    Take it to the Lord in prayer.

    Are we weak and heavy-laden,
    Cumbered with a load of care?
    Precious Savior, still our refuge—
    Take it to the Lord in prayer.
    Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
    Take it to the Lord in prayer!
    In His arms He’ll take and shield thee,
    Thou wilt find a solace there.

    Blessed Savior, Thou hast promised
    Thou wilt all our burdens bear;
    May we ever, Lord, be bringing
    All to Thee in earnest prayer.
    Soon in glory bright, unclouded,
    There will be no need for prayer—
    Rapture, praise, and endless worship
    Will be our sweet portion there.

    All our Love and Prayers go with you,
    Kathi, Pete & Family

  4. Jean, we're all checking the blog every day to learn how you're doing. I know our Lord will continue to heal and strengthen you. Sometimes His timing may be a little frustrating but it's always for a perfect purpose. Lee and Carl Reiter asked me to tell you they're praying for you as well.
    Love you, my friend and prayer partner.
